I'd be very happy to flood someone's connection for a weekend to
transfer the files over with the promise to organize and host the files
for the general vintage computing public.

I can take care of this on bitsavers.
A large collection of microfiche scanned and soon to
be available - I think I'll pinch myself and come
back later to see if I need to pich myself harder :-)
Obviously the value would be greatly enhanced if
we could knock up an index (document title or
part number, where it starts, where it ends) and
better yet if individual docs could be pulled
out into separate pdfs.
This would obviously take quite a bit of time,
but perhaps we could organise ourselves and
come up with a way of distributing the work.
I think Project Gutenberg have a scheme for
proof-reading where you basically offer to
proof-read something (or a part of something)
and there is some scheme for keeping track of
which bits are done and which bits still need
to be done.
Do we have enough computer experience between us
to pull this off? :-)

Well, I was going to suggest Retroarchive - there isn't a DEC section as yet,
but one can soon be added. To quote from the main page:
Software and documentation for all computer systems is welcome here.
Anything from the simplest 6502 based SBC to a huge VAX minicomputer;
it has a home here.
For software or information to be included in this site, it must be
at least 10 years old. There are no restrictions as to what platform
the software or documentation is for, as long as it passes the "classic"
test of being 10 or more years old. For my purposes, this includes
everything prior to 1993 Submissions to the site that are newer will
be judged on a case by case basis.
Speaking of Retroarchive, I really need to go through the HTML and fix a few
bugs. If anyone finds any glitches, please let me (or Gene Buckle) know :)
Later.
