Volunteer(s) for scanning needed - again
Message #1 Posted by Gene on 12 Nov 2003, 7:13 p.m.

Some of you may remember an effort several people made to get my copy of the "debugged" JPC ROM online for the 71B. Some of you may also remember a post from several months ago about a large stack of HP User Library programs I had that I hoped to get scanned and online.

Well, my volunteer has decided that he doesn't have time to do the scanning of these after all, so I'm looking for another person who could help by scanning these into PDF files.

Any volunteers?

Gene

P.S. The efforts to get the TI PPC Notes online is moving along and so is the effort to get the TI calculator manuals online too. If you REALLY want to see some of those, drop me an email.

How many pages are we talking about?

Figure 100 HP User Library programs x 6-8 pages each. Double sided. They also have magnetic card packets attached to the first page.

Not an easy task, but take a look at the long list of programs and you'll see why I'm hoping to get them done.

There's a similar list of TI58/59 programs someone is scanning too.

The TI PPC Notes are also on a list.

Well, I do have this shiny new HP-4670 scanner, so I guess I'd be willing to take a crack at it. I assume things are in no rush and if it took several weeks to get all 600-800 pages that would be OK.

I could try to contribute german TI 58/59 manuals if you like. What software is best for doing that? I have Windows 2k at my office and Mac OSX at home (has built-in PDF).

Cheers, Victor

Hello Gene,

Some weeks ago Texas Instruments granted me the permission to make the elder, scanned manuals on my Datamath Calculator Museum available for the public. If you check the www.datamath.org/Manuals.htm page you'll notice that I placed already 50 manuals there.

Next issue is webspace, here I received from Viktor T.Toth an offer to use parts of his webserver.

Please send me a list of the manuals you own and we'll discuss the next steps. Another good place to locate manuals is maintained by Katie Wasserman.

Greetings, Joerg
