Barry,

This is why I spend money buying old army manuals for some of the more 
common radios.  Then I don't feel bad about sanding the binding off to 
feed it to the ADF.  Have to make sure those lending me manuals 
understand that this is what is going to happen.  I store the scanned 
manuals i own in manila envelopes.

My worry is that we are loosing this stuff to landfills, etc, and it is 
a bit of history that needs to be preserved.  That is why I have been 
buying old computers and trying to add them to the SIMH emulators.  
Problem there is dealing with a front panel like the H8 or simple 
memory-mapped video like the early PC's.  I am currently working on an 
8088 emulator to emulate my Godbout 8085/8088 machine which still 
works.  After 20 years of storage in a garage, the 8-inch floppies are 
still readable!
