That's neat! Thanks! I always liked the Pro/350: When you get into the
OS command prompt it's a really nice system and Synergy wasn't a bad
windowing system either. I used it a lot in the day and it worked pretty
well with a mouse.
Also venix wasn't bad, for awhile my Venix equipped 350 was on the
internet via uucico. Those were the days...

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.
