Several people here seem interested in HSC manuals. This seller (no connection, unwrap the URL): http://cgi6.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=moj o4dojo&sort=3&rows=50&since=-1&include=0&showpics=0&stab=0 had an HSC70 service manual which didn't seem to sell. (I was going to bid but I no longer have access to a scanner and $20 or so shipping to the UK for a $3 manual was a tad off-putting!) A bunch of VAX 8800 manuals too (although the System Isolation Guide had the same part number as the one I have called a Fault Isolation Guide). I expect these will pop up again (or you could try direct contact if you have a sick HSC or VAX 8800 :-)) There are a few other interesting technical manuals - I've pretty much run out of room at the moment so I'll only be able to watch Antonio -- --------------- Antonio Carlini arcarlini(a)iee.org
