HP is enforcing their copyright over manuals, even for old
unsupported equipment. Look at this:

http://bama.sbc.edu/images/Letter%204-18-05.pdf

I see the BoatAnchor Manual Archive public-service site has
complied, http://bama.sbc.edu/hp.htm removing masses of valuable
documentation for ancient hp instruments from public availability.

There's good news from BAMA News, http://bama.sbc.edu/news.htm
"HP Manuals Will Return to BAMA. A license has been granted
by Agilent to allow BAMA to carry HP manuals. The HP page will
need to be recreated and the files returned to the server. This
will take a while, but they will be back! (April 28, 2005)"



We should download them all and burn CDs before they change their
minds!

What I really want are the schematics for the HP9100 desktop
calculator, ca 1965. I have two, both dead, and it's sad that they
won't allow anybody to get the info needed to restore these classics.

It's amazing that HP actually reused the 9100 model number for some
poorly-reviewed inkjet printer/fax thing.
