I gave them access to my ftp archive, and directed
them to this list and to Bitsavers, too.

Subject: Information about CD-ROM in the library of Computer Museum
Hi,
i'm Gabriele Zaverio, president of FreakNet MediaLab, an italian
association dedicated to preserve computing history and working
to create a Museum of Working Machines :)
we're actually working on a Data General Eclipse MV/7800XP
running AOS/VS, a very particular Operating System.
Our problem is the total lack of any manual. So, searching
the net, i caught this page:
http://www.threedee.com/jcm/library/
in which i read:
"Two CDs of 20,046 pages
I've made contact with a guy who's scanned 20,046 pages of the
docs listed below, at 300 to 400 DPI. I keep these on CD-R."
well, i'm really interested in those CD! :)
i think we can made a sort of exchange - here we have many kind
of manuals, from Honeywell DPS-4 and DPS-6, to PDP-11/34
internal schematics (including GAMMA-11 TAC Camera), and
other manuals like DG/UX for Data General Eclipse...
as our goal, we want to put online every kind of documentation
we have, and we started scanning something.
About our Eclipse, we have some stuff here:
http://zaverio.net/eclipse/stuff
as documentation, howto's and tape images and backups of
some part of AOS/VS, including help files and man pages. :)
can you help ? i see you CD-ROM contains very interesting
manuals that can help us running this machine (our goal
is to make it available for users for experimenting it :)
please help us, and tnx in advance
