HP 32SII - German Manual
Hi there,

Does any german Manual still exist somewhere? I mean, at least among the members of this august forum?

If it is about manual labour: I would be willing to take on the scanning chore. It can't be that they all vanished from the face of the earth...

Thanks!

RE: HP 32SII - German Manual
I have a german and a dutch one.

Problem is it's not spiral bound and therefore difficult to scan w/o causing some level of destruction, otherwise I would have uploaded it already as I did with my french 20S manual. Maybe some other user is brave enough or don't care about its condition.

Public libraries sometimes have copiers, possibly scanners which allow processing of half-opened books.

I could start looking...?

I think you have to because HP abandoned spiral bound manuals at that time and turned to what our euphemistic US-American friends call "perfect binding" (since it is perfectly far less practical than spiral binding, you know). O tempora ... ! Confused

Well, a copier or two might be found and during summer I might find an hour or two to do the menial handywork, but we need a donor manual...

Cheers,

I usually just take the bound manual to Staples and for a few dollars they will slice the binding off and punch and spiral bind it. Once spiral bound, it's easy to remove the spiral, scan it and then put the spiral back on. You end up with a nice scanned copy and a spiral manual.

RE: HP 32SII - German Manual
Let me add my voice to those who would like a German 32sii manual. It would be great if someone who has this manual would send it to the curator for scanning and inclusion on a future Museum DVD.

Walter, I am replying to this thread in general, not a specific post, hence no quote.

If not the curator, anybody else of us willing to do the scanning.

Especially following Bill's cute idea of getting it spiral bound along the way, scanning should be less of a problem...

I'll see what I can do, but it will take time. I'm away from home for quite some time due to a treatment at a remote hospital.

Thanks for your wishes! :-)

@Franz: Dave is allowed to distribute this material. He asked - you don't.

There's more illogicality observed here. Compare that and the times of your postings. 137, and counting.

This makes distributing it even more disturbing.

Not targeted at you, Walter (it just fits here):

Anyway, before this gets more offtopic and leads to another legal discussion: I understood this thread as a request to scan this particular manual for inclusion into the museum DVD. If anyone has doubts, he or she may check the list of contributors and see if my previous scan shows up anywhere else. If another accusation must be uttered, a more moderate tone would be greatly appreciated.

RE: HP 32SII - German Manual
A non-member has hijacked this thread, can we please get back to the original subject.

Thomas, thanks for the offer, and I join those who hope you are well soon.

As Thomas said, while anyone can scan a copy of a HP manual, only Dave has permission from HP to make these available to everyone on the Museum DVD, and I believe he also has superior scanning machines and can be trusted to maintain the integrity of the original manual, that's why I suggested sending the German 32sii manual to him.

As others have stated before, the Museum DVD is worth its weight in gold.

Much more I think: a DVD weighs 16 grams more or less... ;)
