I may have scanned other versions, no time to look right now.

and.. people are STILL trying to find a good copy of the Sun Microsystems
68000 boot prom, as far as I know.

I think this manual should be scanned for posterity but cannot do that.


Something like what is on this page?

Nothing similar there.

the one above is the previous version to the manual I have.  According
to the first page, the single volume Sun-1 System Reference Manual from
July 1982 was replaced by two volumes the User Guide, which I have, and
the Programmer's Reference Manual which I do not have.  The older
manual is probably more useful but this one is expanded (according to
revision page) to include 1/2" and 1/4" tape drives and Fujitsu disk
drives.  I see that the CDC Lark operation is in here, the Sun-1 that
I dealt with had a CDC Lark cartridge unit and I still have some of the
old Lark cartridges and no possible way to read them.

I believe what Richard has is a later published revision of this document
on Bitsavers already. This one is a draft copy :
http://bitsavers.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pdf/sun/sun1/800-0345_Sun-1_System_Reference_Manual_Jul82.pdf

I will absolutely be willing to scan it and I was one of the one's who
originally requested it as well,

I received seven requests for the Sun Workstation manual.  I guess I will
draw a name from a hat or something...

Manuaal for the original Sun Workstation

2016-10-11 Thread Richard Loken 

While rooting through the shop I found the user's manual for the original
Sun Workstation.  The computer is long gone but the manual returned to
haunt me.  It is devoid of pictures, logos, and fancy fonts and labelled
revision C December 1982.

Anybody want it for the cost of postage?
