I recently picked up a Lobo Max-80 system. Accompanying the system were 2 manuals, apparently xeroxed and in pressboard covers, which I thought might be of interest to someone here. Because they appear xeroxed (double-sided, 8.5 x 11), I doubt that they are originals, but given the methods of documentation production way back then, I really don't know. Both may be of more interest for the nostalgic collector rather than of any great historic interest, (or for someone who doesn't have copies of the "final" documentation). But given that disclaimer, this is what I have: CP/M 3 Operating System: User's Guide, Programmer's Guide, and Programmer's Utility Guide. Labeled "Preliminary: November 1982 Final Technical Review Complete In Production for Final Edit and Graphics" AND CP/M-68K Operating System Beta Documentation rubber-stamped "PRELIMINARY" and "STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL" on several pages. Labeled "First Edition: October 1982" If anyone is interested in either or both of these, email me an offer I can't refuse (i.e., an unbuilt Altair or IMSAI kit, a non-functional Apple I, or possibly a few bucks for packaging and postage). Most interesting bid by December 15th accepted, void where prohibited by law, licensed drivers only, batteries not included. Decision of the judges can be swayed with an appropriate bribe. (Obviously if I were going for the BIG BUCKS, this would be professionally hyped on eBay. So it's just going to comp.os.cpm and to the classiccmp list members.)

But I will accept anything over and above that amount!)
