RE: Diagnostic Aids -- LY44-0597

Sharon - I did not go far enough at the publications site - Mark had 
the more current reference for RISC boxes of relatively recent 
vintage - these things do not change a lot over time.

The newer set costs less - $280 comes to mind from Mark's post. But I 
don't see a problem here - these are very specialized, as someone 
else pointed out. They might be some of the last manuals not 
downloadable - and I think they should stay hard to get - do you 
really want anyone to know how to use the advanced techniques 
available in option 4 of SST? Zounds - it is already bad enough that 
one can modify any address in memory from SST - these manuals are 
about the guts of these machines - they should be hard to obtain, IMO.

Their price and accessibility do not apply to anything else on this system.

JMHO
