Hi List! Movin right along. Programmers console now properly attached to light screening bar. Front panel and bezel on. Needs a bit more work. Not as secure or as straight as I would like. Then there's the key lock problem. Its in the off position and of course I don't have the key.

Was there ever a final version of the Altos ACS 8600 users manual?

I just uploaded a bunch of ACS 8600 documentation to bitsavers, but the Users manual I have is preliminary from 1982. Does anyone have a later version that has the missing chapters (esp the schematics Appendix)?

scary warning about bubble memory loop mask, TI 763/765 maint manual

Al just put the TI Silent 700 Model 763/765 maintenance manual up on Bitsavers. (Thanks Al!) The 763 and 765 are the models using internal bubble memory for between 10,000 and 80,000 characters of local storage. They use either one or two "discrete memory boards", with one 92 Kbit bubble device
