Someone asked about uploading the SunOS 4.1 docubox I had scanned, so I finally
got around to doing that today, but discovered that I never scanned the part 1,
just the system calls of 800-3827. I suspect that I never had it. So if someone
has that or a Solaris 1.x docubox a scan would be helpful.

I scanned the 800-3827-10 three-volume set last week:

Good deal. I don't know if I have the full set or not - I suspect
not. I was given many boxes of Sun binders and I'm slowly working
through them, using your naming convention (more or less.) Please do
grab and merge any of my scans into Bitsavers. The more copies out
there, the better.

AFAIK I have nothing pre-4.0 here.

Checked my shelves last night, as far as stuff that doesn't overlap with
what you already have: I have a doc set for SunOS 1.0, a few things for
1.4, and a mostly-complete set for 2.0, along with a few bits of
miscellanea. I also have a ton of stuff for 3.0, I'll see if there's
anything I have that isn't already on Bitsavers.

I'm working through 3.0, 4.0, and 4.1.1 this morning.
2.x would be good to scan.
Is the KV-S3065W working OK? I still need to write you with my workflow, though it is a
bit baroque. I like
to use an ancient scanning app written for W98 and ISIS drivers because of the way that it
names the resulting
pages, tumble to create the pdf, then Acrobat Pro 9 to OCR.
You'll find the color dropout handy if you ever have to deal with a document that
someone took highlighter to.
Getting good results at 600dpi can be tricky since it the sensors seem to be noisy doing
B&W. I have the service
manual and the service app, but have never tried adjusting the levels on the contact image
sensors.
About the only thing that wears out are the rollers and the clear plastic covers over the
CISs (they get scratched).
I've run literally millions of pages through them. The rollers are expensive ($300 for
a kit).
The retard roller (PJDRC0054Y) wears down first, that is about $100.

Cool, I'll do that. Looks like I have stuff for a few different 2.X

I also have a lot of 1.1 stuff; considerably more than is on Bitsavers

I also have a dozen or so Software Technical Bulletins from 1986-1989 or
so -- SunOS 3.x era (not a complete set). Any interest there?

Yes, it does seem to be
working ok, though I haven't done much with it
yet, just scanned in a few hundred pages of a random manual just to try
it out. Looking forward to seeing details on your workflow.

Cool. Any recommendations for places to purchase spares from? The
rollers in mine are a bit dirty, but they seem to have cleaned up OK and
i haven't had any jams or problems with paper feeding (fingers crossed),
but I'm sure I'll need them sooner or later.

Not really, There are a lot of places that carry parts, and their prices vary a LOT.
Panasonic used to have a direct-sales site in Illinois, but I don't see it coming
up on line now.
The rollers should clean up easily. The thing I've seen is the rubber swells over
time.
Thinking about it now, I haven't tried reducing the paper thickness with the knob on
the
side or tried sanding the rollers so they were flat again.
There was a version on the earlier models that used silicone rubber, but those got stiff
over time and stopped gripping paper.
