I think this manual should be scanned for posterity but cannot do that. Something like what is on this page? http://www.solivant.com/sun100/ Nothing similar there. Bitsavers: http://bitsavers.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pdf/sun/sun1/ the one above is the previous version to the manual I have. According to the first page, the single volume Sun-1 System Reference Manual from July 1982 was replaced by two volumes the User Guide, which I have, and the Programmer's Reference Manual which I do not have. The older manual is probably more useful but this one is expanded (according to revision page) to include 1/2" and 1/4" tape drives and Fujitsu disk drives. I see that the CDC Lark operation is in here, the Sun-1 that I dealt with had a CDC Lark cartridge unit and I still have some of the old Lark cartridges and no possible way to read them. -- Richard Loken VE6BSV, Systems Programmer - VMS : "...underneath those Athabasca University : tuques we wear, our Athabasca, Alberta Canada: heads are naked!" ** rllo...@telus.net ** :- Arthur Black

Manuaal for the original Sun Workstation
While rooting through the shop I found the user's manual for the original Sun Workstation. The computer is long gone but the manual returned to haunt me. It is devoid of pictures, logos, and fancy fonts and labelled revision C December 1982. Anybody want it for the cost of postage? -- Richard Loken VE6BSV, Unix System Administrator : "Anyone can be a father Athabasca University: but you have to earn Athabasca, Alberta Canada : the title of 'daddy'" ** t...@athabascau.ca **: - Lynn Johnston -- This communication is intended for the use of the recipient to whom it is addressed, and may contain confidential, personal, and or privileged information.
