Hardware Manuals

X-ray · 29 November 2006, 20:01

Mods, brethren, hand-brakes etc:

Since the problem with BBoAH where the manuals and drivers had to be taken down, we have no 'depot' or resource for Amiga hardware manuals.
I propose this issue gets tackled in two steps:

1) Create a sub-forum called Documents/manuals
2) Conduct a survey of EAB users to see what manuals they have in their possession and are willing to scan (or what scans they have already, that they can verify are from the original manuals).
3) Get those uploaded here on EAB

Is there space for that? What do you all think of this? For example I have the following manuals that I have scanned already:

Cyberstorm MKII
CyberSCSI Module
Technosound Turbo II
Lola2000 Genlock
Commodore 3070 Tape Drive
DKB3128
Kickflash OS4
Vidi-Amiga RT24 Pro

And I have other manuals that I haven't scanned yet:

PIV
ZIP Drive (PC manual and Amiga ZIP/Jaz tools manual)

Software is another issue. I suppose it is reasonable to assume that a guy who buys software will have the manuals for that. So maybe we stick to hardware only, innit.

WTF it saved the spell-checker

Amiga Hardware CX has manuals.

I would be willing to scan in mine:

Micronik Infintiv Tower (Covers 6860 busboard etc) (large Manual)
Apollo 1240/60
Scandy1200
SilverSurfer
IDEFix 97' and express adapter
Eyetech 4 device ide buffer

I would also recommend the Amiga Hardware CX as a place to donate scanned manuals.

I am not sure if the NEW BBoAH cannot accept manuals. Now that Ian isnt doing it and the liability is not his, perhaps they will once again accept manuals?

I cannot believe that anyone would object to manuals... software, install disks YES, but manuals??

I sent BBOAH the RBM Towerhawk 1200ex II manual, they got it but said they would upload in the site after they sort out completelly some prob with drivers. AFAIR Elbox complained to them, and they removed ALL the downloads, which just suck.
I have these to scan that I did not find available:
- MTEC 1230 manual
- DCE ScanMagic/FlickerMagic manual
