Yes, I worked at West Long Branch starting in '84, worked on a scheme to encrypt AMPS (analog cell phone) calls. Then, when that died, I worked in Holmdel on various projects on and off into the mid 90's. And I was always scrounging. Much of today's "bounty" is from that (though not the USR-330 - I forget where that came from. I might even have bought it.) I'll trust you, W.

I have no idea how we can resolve the SPITBOL manual claims. In theory the staple can be removed and the document copied. It's just loose sheets. They're old and I would hope the photocopier would treat them gently. The author is indeed Dewar, Illinois Institute of Technology. Inside the front cover, it says that this is a copy made by Griswold at Bell Telephone Labs, with permission of the author, in order to make it "available to individuals interested in SNOBOL4."

Just be sure to scan at 400dpi greyscale or something similar to be auto-rotated and OCR'ed; bilevel is no good for auto-rotation, as I've since found out :( (auto-rotation meaning using computer vision to exactly align the text vertically and horizontally, which makes OCR much easier) -- Jonathan Gevaryahu jgevaryahu@gmail.com jgevaryahu@hotmail.com

Very nice. This needs to get scanned.

Any chances of getting scans of that manual and dumps of the diskettes? The existing olivetti M24 (the machine the 6300 is a rebadge of) documentation is incomplete, particularly for the z8000 (olivetti m20 backwards compatibility related stuff, which also handles the hi res video mode in m24/6300 mode) which is entirely missing from existing schematics online! The diskettes could be very useful for testing machines as well.

I can handle floppies here. On 2/14/2017 10:42 AM, William Dudley via vcf-midatlantic wrote:
Jason, thanks for the offer.
Let us try to arrange the scanning at the next workshop, or at VCF East.
Then, Douglas Crawford, Jonathan Gevaryahu, and Kyle Owen can all get copies of the 6300 stuff.
Who can image the floppies to digital files?

I have a nice Fujitsu sheet fed scanner I'd be happy to bring with me to VCF, or if I can make it out to a workshop. It can do color, duplex scanning.

Jonathan,
I have no means to do the copying but am open to the idea.
