Any chance you have any DPS-8 or GCOS-8 documentation to upload.  I stupidly

Hi Josh,

I saw your posting on the 23rd Jan 16 regarding Bull DPS 6.

We are based in the UK and actually run 4 working DPS6 systems in the UK.

Any system (in its entirety or parts) we may be interested in if compatible 
with our existing system.

Do you still have it?

Many thanks,

Julian
