DIGITAL Personal Workstation System Reference and Maintenance Guide
a/au-Series

It's a collection of html pages, not a single pdf manual, and not
super friendly, but better than nothing.


Unfortunately, I never got/found the pdf of that manual :(

Btw, cilinder.be is my site, I only keep it in the air for the old
documentation.


Thanks for keeping that site up, even if the format isn't ideal, it
is still providing a useful manual!


Thank you :)

I did find that page (but not the zip actually), and it helped me, but you are 
right it isn't very friendly, a PDF would be so much better. I'll get the zip.

Thanks

The original database dump was available online fora while. That dates 
from ~2010 and has ~235 entries with URLs of the form:


  some-prefix.hp.com/legacysupport/

I checked a handful and none are there. Perhaps they've moved to a 
different URL but a cursory search provided nothing.


archive.org has at least some of those docs (e.g. 
https://web.archive.org/web/20050115202903/http://h18000.www1.hp.com/LEGACYSUPPORT/Digital/pdf/xl6.pdf) 
so all is not lost.


Additionally, manx often listed md5 checksums, which suggests that the 
docs have been downloaded and (hopefully) saved somewhere.


Given a mysql database dump, it would be straightfoward enough to check 
which docs still exist and which don't.

Thanks Glen. When browsing Manx that was just the title closest to what I 
thought I needed, because it wasn't an exact match and an exact match was not 
available.

That page refers to this file, which is no longer available there:
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/legacysupport/digital/pdf/d4bwwsm.pdf

An archived copy of that file is available here:
http://web.archive.org/web/20050115182731/http://h18000.www1.hp.com/LEGACYSUPPORT/Digital/pdf/d4bwwsm.pdf

Although that manual appears to cover Pentium II workstations and if
the 433au is an Alpha workstation that manual is probably not the one
you actually want.

This is the page: http://manx.classiccmp.org/details.php/1,8150

Hello Antonio,

I don't think it is but it looks like it would be useful anyway.

I have ER-D4BWW-SM-A01 which is "DIGITAL Personal Workstation Service 
Maintenance Manual".


Is that the one? (the HP link does indeed seem to be broken for that one.)
