I edit articles on wiki, and bitsavers is an invaluable resource, since I can provide links to my references.

I did is by myself, and I ordered it 2 years ago, because of our relocation. The question is reason. I discarded a lot of stuff without any scanning just because I saw absolutely no reason to keep it. I don't use 25+ years old software. Bitsavers - I consider is as a museum. I really appreciate it, because I like computer musea (plural of museum). The only exception was when I wanted to learn more deeply about CKD disks. BTW: I discarded all the books related to IBM RVA (STK under cover), Tetragon 2000 (HDS Freedom), JES/328X, 3174, Infowindow II, and more. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland W dniu 17.03.2020 o 15:50, Seymour J Metz pisze: > I've got manuals much older than that.
