Someone is trying to look at some old schematics from around 1992 and
asked me if I had a copy.

Ah, the joys of proprietary file format.
I can't help with that, but it is nice to see that Eagle 6 has switched
from using proprietary binary file formats for their
schematic and PCB
layout files to open XML-based file formats. That doesn't
necessarily
completely solve the problem of being able to deal with the files
arbitrarily far in the future, but it does at least potentially make it
a lot easier.

This is like all of the HP1000 manual source files CHM has in Interleaf format.

I have a DOS version of Interleaf in the original boxes. I haven't checked on the
media in a *really* long time but Al's welcome to it.

ISO alone is not sufficient, this software (at least at the time I used
it at the university around 1985) required a copy protection plug in
the centronics port.
