Hello, Unfortunately I’m in California so I wouldn’t be of much help. However, I can certainly contribute money.

It sure doesn't seem to be on-line. In fact, Googling that document number produces exactly one hit (another DEC document which mentions this document in the text). Getting that scanned would be neat. paul

I'm in the western suburbs of Chicago but if the manual is unbound (3 ring or 18 hole cerlock) where the pages will fit into a document feeder I have a Xerox copier/printer/scanner that can do double sided scanning. You pay postage both ways, I am happy to scan it for you. Mike On 6/30/2023 8:15 AM, Paul Koning via cctalk wrote: On Jun 30, 2023, at 3:42 AM, Chris Zach via cctalk wrote: Okies.

I'd do it for endless beer privileges at future meets/get togethers :-) CZ I've used scanning services at Staples. In my case, large format scanning, but I think the store I went to also had a letter size scanner with a feeder. Another possibility would be to find someone nearby interested in helping who works at a company that uses modern copiers/scanners/fax machines. Copiers are often "digital copiers" which means they are actually a scanner feeding a printer, and "scan to USB stick" tends to be one of the features. Those will scan at typical office copier speeds. Some will do the job in color, if you need that. paul

DSM-IV is "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual" for mental disorders, and is On Wed, 28 Jun 2023, Ali wrote: Fred, You are showing your age ;). The DSM-V has been out for a while now and the first revision (DSM V-TR TR=Text Revision, gotta love the Psych guys...) is coming out (is out?) soon My age is getting quite difficult to hide. The "new" (now 10? years old) edition (DSM-V) is not without controversy, such as grief/depression; there are actually some who still prefer to use the DSM-IV. When we put the DSM-V on the shelf in Reference, we had some patrons asking us to bring back the DSM-IV. But yes, my joke should probably have been worded DSM-V
[cctalk] Re: Found the DSM orange manual
At the risk of offending many others, I would think that documentation for the 5150 could be called "DSM-IV" For those who need explanation of my inept attempts at humour, . . . (I probably shouldn't even try) DSM-IV is "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual" for mental disorders, and is the primary reference in most libraries on such (yes, I was a librarian for a while). 5150 is current slang, and the California code, for involuntary psychiatric committment of those who are a danger to themselves or others. Some feel that that was a coincidentally excellent name for IBM's entry into the personal computer market.

If a few of us were to chip in very small donations, what would it cost to have a commercial scanning service company, with high speed auto-feed scanners, scan it? I admit that I had to GOOGLE what DSM stood for.
