I think it is great that they want to collect the old manuals (too bad
they won't scan them themselves though).

It takes a significant amount of work to do a good job of scanning
and post-processing an HP manual. Many of the schematic sheets are
extended length (>17" long)
I wonder what happened to all of the content they took down several
years ago (things that included mid-90's test gear like the 16500C)
FYI, I took a look at the 1630 manual, and it was recovered from
microfiche. I should bug someone I know about getting a paper copy
to scan.

Well the contents of one agilent ftp site were gathered up and made
available (a year or so ago I guess) to anyone who asked. I have a
copy of the resulting CDs and I'm pretty sure that I sent a DVD
of them all to Eric Smith. I also have a vague memory of someone
being forced to take down old manuals (by either HP or Agilent),
possibly temporarily until an agreement could be put in place.
Maybe that's why the stuff is not up now.
As for ftp://ftp.agilent.com/pub/manuals, the "Welcome ...txt" at
the bottom says:
"Because this site is a staging area, and not a resting place, you may
find
that a file you downloaded Monday is no longer here on Tuesday. When
this
happens, you will find the file as a manual under its product listing on
http://www.tm.agilent.com. That is the permanent home for Agilent
manuals."
If you do head over to http://www.tm.agilent.com and drop 16500C into
the
search boxx you get a bunch of interesting hits as far back as 1996.
Sounds too recent though ...
