Believe it or not, if you are looking for a document you can reach out to the IBM Archives and ask them if they have a scan available to send you! If they have the document you're looking for and it was originally available to the public, they generally shouldn't have a problem providing it for you. For example: when I was trying to find information about the IBM Enhanced Memory Expansion Adapter for the PC/AT, I found almost nothing about the card online. I reached out to the IBM Archives, and they gave me high-quality scans of the card's "Guide to Operations", "Technical Reference", glossy spec sheet, and even the notes and foils for an IBM sales presentation on the card! All of which are now out on minuszerodegrees.net. You can contact them at archive1@us.ibm.com; terms and conditions are available here: https://www.ibm.com/ibm/history/request2/terms.html Regards, Dan FitzGerald They/Them/Theirs http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/dfitzger -----Original Message----- From: Ethan O'Toole via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> Reply-To: vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> To: Douglas Crawford via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> Cc: Ethan O'Toole <telmnstr@757.org> Subject: Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Fiche documentation for all of VM/ESA Date: 10/25/2023 10:49:26 AM Scan it, make it public!

As the team lead for the IBM CIO's z/VM squad, and the curator of the Classical Computing Laboratory at IBM Poughkeepsie, I most certainly would want it if nobody else takes it.

Hello! One of the people on the regular Z/VM list many years ago had a copy of the Fiche behind VM/ESA (I do not know what version), this is the entire source code reduced to Fiche. Would the actual VCF offices in NJ want these? Failing that does anyone on the list want these? Please note that the box is a heavy one.
Oh and the wandering dino is currently asleep inside the (new) warehouse area. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
