Vintage IBM Manuals

[bstark_15301]

I was given two boxes of vintage IBM manuals to donate to our local library book sale.

I can't see that anyone from the library would have much use for them.

However, perhaps there is some interest on this list.

Just going from memory, there are System Logic Library manuals for MVT, TSO Logic, Principles of Operation for 370, and many others.

I can post a complete list if there is interest.

Perhaps I should cross post to another list, where people treasure and covet vintage IBM things? If you know of such a place, you can let me know.

Most probably yes!  The following sites are current repositories for
vintage manuals.  I'm sure you will hear from others soon!

I'd be interested in Linkage Editor and/or Loader logic manuals. Also anything you have on NIP processing.

Can someone who has the ability to scan and upload these get them. I lost out on some logic manuals last year because I had no way to scan them and someone else did. I have yet to see them posted

I have access to a sheet-feed scanner, and I have scanned and sent
some manuals to bitsavers. The OP didn't say where s/he was, but
postage can add up quickly if it's far away. I'm in Toronto.

I agree that it would be unfortunate to distribute the manuals without
regard to scanning ability and willingness to do so and upload them. I
am able and willing to do a reasonable number of them. I have no easy
way to deal with perfect bound books, or any others where the sheets
cannot easily be separated.

The complete list would be great to see.

A list would be very good to see.

   Old logic manuals had a glue binder that would come off.
If these manuals are the same, your sheet feeder should be
able to handle them?  Any that you can't handle, someone
may volunteer?

   The System Logic manuals are of interest to me as well as SMF.  It

Some of these have glued binding that could be peeled off for scanning. Others have big staples, others are strait 3-ring punched. Most are pretty square and would feed through a scanner.
The whole pile is 18 inches (0.5 meters) high and weighs 38 pounds (17 KG). It will mail around the US pretty cheaply, as it is eligible for "media mail". Since there is some interest, preference would go to someone who wants the entire collection and is willing to scan them into bitsavers. But I could split it up into a couple of shipments.

I have a wife, and a vintage IBM collection, and can only keep one of the two.
