Here is an interesting site a friend brought to my attention:
www.instruction-manuals.co.uk
They have a rather large inventory of used instructions manuals for
everything from Amplifiers to Water Heaters.
There is a Computer and Computer Software section. Each section is then
subdivided by manufacturer. The manuals they have available are for sale
at varous prices.

New subject: Have some bits for the cost of shipping-
I dug some fun bits out of a local surplus place, and want to know
if anyone here wants these- I saved them only to put up here, because I
would rather they float out to the Classicmp world than get chopped to
pieces.
* AT&T Unix PC/ 3B1- I have one of these at my house, with a lot
of cards and docs and stuff. I saved this one out of a dumpster. It boots
up okay, is really pretty clean, although the keyboard is kind of
dirty. Has all its keys, drive sounds good, fans spin, pretty nice shape
all in all.
* Zenith SuperSport 286 laptop- I grabbed this mainly because it
had the battery pack with it, and the one I got seems to hold a charge- I
charged it up last week, and it still goes now. Something like a 20 meg
disk and 640k ram. I have a suitably vintage 386 I use mainly for Telix to
work on my headless VAXes when the network goes down, and don't need this
one- Has power supply, battery, and a typing tutor on the HD, just in
case you need to brush up..
* Slightly newer than 10 years- An IBM POWERServer 340H. About
the size of a PC-XT case. Not a big rolly one. This one is pretty full of
memory, boots up allright, except it seems some of its happy bits were NFS
mounted- It comes to a login prompt, but as usual I have no password. I
really would like to keep this machine, but I don't see myself having time
to work on it any time in the near future. According to the brief research
I did, none of the free Unices support this yet- You'll have to use AIX.
If you are interested in any of the items above, feel free to give
me an email- It's yours for the cost of shipping, or pickup around Chicago
or central illinois area.
Thanks!

Hello -
I'm interested in your 3B1. Does this have the 68010 cpu? Can you
estimate how much this weighs? I live in the South Bend, IN area and
want to check on shipping costs.

The shipping weight of a 3b1 in its original shipping carton is 58 lbs.
That weight does not include S/W + manuals which were shipped separately.
