If it helps, I bought a copy of the DEC Professional 350 Field
Maintenance Print Set (MP-01394) on eBay a few months back.
I've scanned it but I've been waffling about where to post it. Scanned
@600DPI with lossless compression it's huge: 1 GB. Saved as an
"optimized" PDF (with very little visible difference) it's 94 MB.
In the short term I've temporarily thrown up the optimized copy onto
Google drive:

I'd love to be able to contribute this to something like bitsavers.
Thanks.

Makes sense. Still it's uncompressed so pretty big. I'll need to work on
cleaning up the scans a bit, then I'll put the Tiffs up for download/whatever.
Just don't want a lot of copies, consider that pdf as a proof of concept to
review.
TIFF supports compression, in a number of different schemes. LZW tends to work
well for gray and RGB; the CCITT schemes are for bitonal (black/white bitmap).
All TIFF compressions are lossless so they are all safe for material of all
types.
Is what you posted the whole document you have, or are there others? I was really hoping
for the "CT bus manual". I did see interesting stuff in this one, though; for
example, the first documentation I've seen of the hard drive FORMAT command.
