I hope that they do let us archive them. Frankly, I didn't focus on the fact
that the archived article may be considered a "republication". Sorry about
that. Does that mean that we would also have to contact Ed Roberts to get his
permission to archive a copy of the construction manual?
I'll send-up a DS-form on the article scans this afternoon.

Sadly it gets a bit more contorted than that... Ed Roberts sold MITS to
Pertec (who proceeded to largely run it into the ground B^{ ), who was
then purchased by Triumph-Adler of Germany.
So, it can be assumed that TA now owns all of the rights to things
MITS/Altair. I've tried to contact them on occasion on related matters
and have gotten no response of any kind to date.
Just my $.02 worth...
