GREAT!!! I've been pondering where to stash the documents, which will
ultimately amount to about 100GB of scanned , maybe 25 GB of PCX-formatted
documents on disk drives, which will compress, of course, but the volume
grows steadily as I muck out.
What I want is for all the hardware doc's I've saved all these years to be
available to whoever needs them.
Is that consistent with what you're planning?

I am starting a documentation project to collect
hardware manuals and
technical documents for all different types of old computers. Before I put
it up for all to enjoy, I need to write a legal disclaimer saying, to the
effect, that I make no claim to own anything and to the best of my
knowledge
it's all public domain info. Anyone know how I
should word it, or anyone
have an example on their web site? Thanks in advance.

Sure! The more the merrier. I'm starting out small, I only have about 9GB of
disk space on a Linux box to host everything. I'm hoping to get a cheap,
gigantic IDE hard drive soon to complement it. PCX is a yucky format to
store documentation in, I'm scanning all my stuff in as PDF's or compressed
TIFFs, I'd like to stay away from GIFs because of all the legal weirdness
going on with Unisys. I'm going to work on it this weekend, and hopefully I
will have something up monday or tuesday. I'll let the list know...
