The diagnostic listing is now available in my new bitsavers-contrib
folder on Google drive:

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B2v4WRwISEQRWWFFdVpCZWFTZEU&usp=sharing

This is the only document in there right now, and you will find it in
the same path that the other occupies on bitsavers, i.e. in folder
./pdf/dec/pdp11/xxdp/diag_listings

A PDF is there as well as a zip file containing the original .tif files
as Al Kossow prefers for submissions.  (Al:  Hint, Hint  ;) ).
