I may still have some old manuals from my college days where I used a Dec System 20. Would they be of interest to this collection? I can check tommorrow and post what I have (my son is asleep in the room they are in).

We're always interested in old manuals. When you post the list, we'll know if we have duplicates or not.

I came across some old DEC-20 and 1022 manuals a few weeks ago in my basement that I could have sworn I gave away a few years ago. I was going to offer them to Rich Troiano, but it seems that they would find a better home here... :-) I'll post the list as soon as I am able to put the list together. -- Frank |

I found the 3 manuals and one tape:
MacLisp (a homemade manual from my LiSP class) Dec System 20 Fortran Reference Manual (real Dec manual) Dec System 10/20 Algol Programmers Guide (reproduction)
Any interest? |

I have the books "Introduction to DECsystem-20 Assembly Language Programming" by Gorin, "Introduction to DECsystem-10 Assembler Language Programming" by Singer and the TOPS-20 Monitor Calls Quick Reference manual. Those are probably pretty common, but if you guys want to borrow any of them, I am on Bainbridge Island, so it wouldn't be hard to get them to you.

I also have many old manuals - mostly Tops20. I have many of the system manuals. What do you do with them? |

Presumably you have the old PDP-10 manuals? I've got a copy of the 1970 manual ("PDP10 Reference Handbook"), which covered the entire gamut: Hardware, operating system, utilities, etc. Later this expanded and fissioned into the Orange Book, Green Book, and Blue Book (I've got those too). After that, the subsequent versions exploded into a couple dozen manuals, many of which I once had, although probably not anymore. |

Hey dbr,
I have what should be a complete set of the 18 or so white binders (not ready to donate it anywhere, but I do have them). I also have an old "phone book" for the 5.04 monitor calls, about the same generation as you. The white binders should be up to 7.04.-kby |

I also have some old binders and manuals, however they're not in the best of shape. Is that a problem? Where do we send the stuff? |

If you have a list which you can send to us (or post here), we can determine whether we already have copies. You might also check the Bitsavers archives (http://bitsavers.org/pdf/) to see if they have copies on-line there, in case we already have something on your list.
Thanks for thinking of us.
