I found that I have a copy of X3J11-88-001
I turned up a copy of X3J11/87-221; the one before that was X3J11/87-140.

I have a filing cabinet with a lot of the early material that I saved.?
Our company was a member, and I was
the representative from the beginning.? If interested I can dig in and
find out what I've go.
If any group will preserve it I'd be glad to share.? I don't think the
committee would object, but I can check
as I've still got contacts with the X10 committee which is the current
SCSI group.
I think all I have predates the 87 / 88 by a lot.? I started when there
was only 5mb interlocked ACK / REQ
transfers, and no disconnect / ATN defined in any way.

On a related note, I have an ongoing project to create an archive of all Usenet posts from
comp.lang.c and related groups, index them, and make them properly accessible to the
public.
Yes, I know about Google Groups and the backstory about how they got all the gold from
Usenet's glory days. But scraping web pages is not my style, at least not in this
instance.
The biggest hole I have is the 1990's. If anybody has information that might be able
to help me out, please let me know.

This seems to be a general problem with Usenet preservation -- the utzoo
archives run up to 1991, and the collections from Giganews etc. on
archive.org typically cover from 2000 or so onwards, but the 1990s are
harder to obtain. Are there any public archives other than Google
Groups for this period?
(We've found quite a lot of useful information for the DB ITS project by
mining relevant groups on Usenet -- a web interface isn't nearly as good
for this as having the text on disk...)
