Documentation for DEC RISC workstation hardware may be obtained via FTP. Connect to "gatekeeper.dec.com" (username "anonymous"; give your own name for a password) and change to directory "/pub/DEC/specs". (There are other interesting files in "/pub/DEC"; in particular, the directory "/pub/DEC/TriAdd" contains a lot of information on the TurboChannel bus.) The files are all stored as compressed PostScript files. You must use binary mode ("type binary" should work) when retrieving them, then use "uncompress" to obtain usable PostScript. Please do not ask me to mail you these documents or to provide them by any other means; I will simply ignore your request. They are available only in PostScript form. The content of these documents is subject to change without notice and should not be construed as a commitment by Digital Equipment Corporation.
