Kevin McQuiggin said: I just wanted to add: Thank you Kevin, for taking this material under your wing. And to everyone else, this DEC handbook states the following on the rear cover: "This first edition of the DIGITAL Small Computer Handbook is designed to be a sourcebook of basic computer technology for the computer user and student. In addition to detailed material on computer fundamentals and programming examples, this book includes three user handbooks covering Digital's popular Family of Eight scientific/engineering computers - the PDP-8, LINC-8, and the new PDP-8/s." "sections 1 and 2" consist of the "computer fundamentals" section and the PDP-8/s section. Currently this is a 69MB file of 300 dpi scans. This is the first time that I have scanned any documents of this size for anyone besides myself, and I'm hoping to find out if these scans are convertable to a more manageable format or if I need to make some adjustments, before begining on the last two sections (PDP-8 and LINC-8) which make up 2/3 of the handbook. And in the process, I want to learn the process of converting scans to a smaller format (without starting an argument) because I also have about 590 pages of COSMAC/ELF docs scanned and ready to convert in addition to a few other that are in progress. Maybe one of these days I'll even get around to scanning some analog computer docs. :) Regards, --Doug ==================================================== Doug Coward dcoward(a)pressstart.com (work) Sr. Software Eng. mranalog(a)home.com (home) Press Start Inc. http://www.pressstart.com Sunnyvale,CA Curator Analog Computer Museum and History Center http://www.best.com/~dcoward/analog ====================================================
