Are DEC ECO's available online anywhere? I have not seem them in the
usual places e.g. bitsavers... I am particularly interested in ECO's
related to the KB11-A (11/45).
thanks,

Field service used to get them on micro fiche. I might have some here
somewhere, but it may take a while to look.
Newer print sets could have info on the older ones.

good a time as any to mention this..
I bought a step and repeat fiche scanner a couple of months ago
and am going to start scanning the thousands of sheet backlog I
have, once I get all the fiche in one place and dedup it. ECO-LOGs
are definitely in there (have several DEC PDP-xx 'blue boxes')

That's great news, Al! Thanks for doing this stuff. It's a great service to
collectors and computer historians of the present and the future.

Hi, Al,
Does the scanner have a setting to do row-major vs. column-major
scanning? I ask from experience: When I was putting Tops-10 v6.03A
on our 1070, I had to have a fiche listing of VMSER.MAC scanned to
PDF. As you know, DEC FS fiche sheets are column-major, but the PDF
came back to me row-major. I had to print it out on 11x17 to reorder
the pages for typein.
Later, when I had the time, I used Acrobat to reorder the pages in
the PDF, but that was also a major PITA.
Just thinking of you.

It is column major, taking about 6 passes length wise, stepping the image
sensor down the rows.
It's a Wicks & Wilson FS300 like this:

If need be, I'll write a program for Al to automatically transpose the
page ordering of the PDF.
