My mistake. I was conflating different things, and being too quick.
The comments about 11/9x manuals being scarce on the internet is what my 
main point was. Both the manuals I referred to are available, and makes 
I think that shows that documentation is not so scarce.

Agreed.

But since the CPU is the same for both the 11/93 and 11/94, what else is 
in there is documented elsewhere.
Actual cabinet, power supply, box, and so on, are mostly generic DEC 
bits, which have their own manuals.

If you want to know specific, unique 11/93-94 information, it's mostly 
about the CPU module. Partly also the Unibus converter is relevant, even 
if it is the same as in the 11/84.

But yes, sometimes drawings would be nice. :-)
