I guess if that fails, I could include links to online manuals in CHWiki pages. That would be a massive campaign, even just the PDP-11 hardware and PDP-10 hardware (all I'd want to do) would be weeks of works. There's no way I could do all the other stuff on Bitsavers (e.g. PDP-10, -11 software, all the VAX stuff - and that's just DEC).
Well the SQL for original manx database (as maintained by Paul) is (or was available) and something is available in the codeplex download that *might* be the current (or near-current) manx database.
You could turn that into links but you'd just have manx-as-a-set-of-wiki-pages.
I guess the data would be useful for programmatically checking whether a given manual is known to manx. At that point though I think the best thing to do would be to get the data into manx. Manx feels like the right tool for finding manuals.
