The holy grail of DEC dumpster divers everywhere.
Unfortunately, mine stayed at DEC when I left. I was a good boy when
I left.

From what I know about DEC security at the
facilities I've visited,
you'd have a hard time sneaking out the
multi-thousand-page list
without looking at least a little bit suspicious.
I'm lucky in that I've never been a DEC employee nor have any of the NDA's
I've signed with them been applicable outside a very limited range of
data.
The whole company was a lot looser in the mid '80's and looser than
that before then. The more closed they became the worse things got.
There are some on-line resources, including Digital's Electronic
Store and the Digital Assisted Services catalogs, which can be
useful. Unfortunately the Electronic Store was phased out over
a year ago and the DAS online catalogs are being phased out as part
of the merger with Compaq.

Three things never anger: First, the one who runs your DEC,
The one who does Field Service and the one who signs your check.
