It turns out that some of the bitsavers files have changed since I picked them up (perhaps to add OCR of similar). (I also got further data from Richard via email, which showed the same issue). So I've had to do some other surgery to hone down the list of files. The total number of files that seem to be unique and unpublished is just under 2000. About 950 of those are original PDFs of manuals/specs/whatever (not scans) that I picked up while working at DEC. The rest either I've scanned, or I've found lying around on the internet somewhere. That's rather a large amount to dump on Al without providing some metadata. I think for most of them I can dig up a title. So I could provide an index file to link the filepath and title, something like: 0002/MANUALS/EK/XMIADHB.PDF: "XMI Adapters Handbook" Would that help, or is there more that I might be able to provide?

MD5 list of bitsavers files
I'm trying to list out the document scans I have and work out which are already on bitsavers and which are not (and, indeed, a fair few of these are originally from bitsavers anyway). This is probably several thousand files total, so searching manx by hand is not an option! I see that manx lists the MD5 checksum for many files, at least it does for those from bitsavers. Is there a publicly available list of URL and MD5 checksum? This would make it relatively easy for me to cross check my files against the list and whittle down to a subset that I should make available. Alternatively, is the current manx database available anywhere? I know the code is on github, but I didn't see the data there. (I do have an SQL dump from 2010 when manx changed hands, but that's not recent enough to save much). I could try to do some parsing of bitsavers-filename => DEC-part-number and eliminate files that way, but that seems inexact at best. Or I could just download the DEC subset of files (spread across the mirrors) but that seems a bit antisocial. Antonio -- Antonio Carlini anto...@acarlini.com
