Available in Boston, Massachusetts - historic DEC PDP-8 manuals!
You pick up...

We have four boxes, approximately 1 cubit x 0.75 cubit x 0.5 cubit,
full of historic DEC manuals, including various versions of the
Small Computer Handbook from the late '60s and early '70s, Introduction
to Programming, Programming Languages, Logic Handbook (detailed descriptions
of the modules which make up PDP8s) etc.  In addition there are some
PDP-11/40 /35 etc paperbacks, plus software and peripherals manuals.
These are an absolute must for the serious Digital Equ. Co. collector,
but due to circumstances are bound for the dumpster unless someone
rescues them before the Solstice!

Possibly also available - DECUS PDP-8 dectapes, TU55 logic.

Inquiries - Tel: 617-573-3748 / Fax: 617-720-4408  or via e-mail.

"If DEC can get their act together and start shipping them [the Alpha
 machine] in quantity, I think they've got a serious compute box on
 their hands for the first time since the PDP-8."

I've got a growing collection of documentation, but I need more.

Unfortunately, I can't get up to Boston before the solstace, but I'll
gladly pay postage for some of the more choice manuals!  If someone in
the Boston area can help pick these up and mail them out, I'm looking
for PDP-8/E and F documenation (1973 date on the cover is what I'm
targeting), and I'm looking for peripheral equipment documentation
from 1965 and 1966, specifically, for the DEC A-D converter, model
138E and for the high speed paper-tape reader punch interfaces from that
era (Type 750C Perforated Tape Reader and Control, and Type 75E
Perforated Tape Punch and Control).

If DECtape hardware becomes available, I'd sure like to know, but the
shipping to Iowa might be a bit steep.
