Anyone got the following document: DIGITAL Personal Workstation System
Reference and Maintenance Guide
The link on Manx is broken.
What page are you looking at on Manx which has the broken link? Do you have
the part number for the manual?
That title is a rather generic one to use for searching.

That page refers to this file, which is no longer available there:
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/legacysupport/digital/pdf/d4bwwsm.pdf
An archived copy of that file is available here:

Although that manual appears to cover Pentium II workstations and if
the 433au is an Alpha workstation that manual is probably not the one
you actually want.

Thanks Glen. When browsing Manx that was just the title closest to what I thought I
needed, because it wasn't an exact match and an exact match was not available.
It would be good to check all the HP links on Manx and probably make copies for posterity
before they disappear. I suspect that is a lot of work though...

Rob

The original database dump was available online fora while. That dates
from ~2010 and has ~235 entries with URLs of the form:
some-prefix.hp.com/legacysupport/
I checked a handful and none are there. Perhaps they've moved to a
different URL but a cursory search provided nothing.
archive.org has at least some of those docs (e.g.
https://web.archive.org/web/20050115202903/http://h18000.www1.hp.com/LEGACY…)
so all is not lost.
Additionally, manx often listed md5 checksums, which suggests that the
docs have been downloaded and (hopefully) saved somewhere.
Given a mysql database dump, it would be straightfoward enough to check
which docs still exist and which don't.
