more garage cleaning this last weekend. i came across some memorabilia
from my time at Bell Labs, including a lovely article titled
The Electrical Properties of Infants
Infants have long been known to grow into adults. Recent experiments
show they are useful in applications such as high power circuit breakers.
Not to mention a lovely article from the “Medical Aspects of Human Sexuality”
(July 1991) titled “Scrotum Self-Repair”.
the two items are
1) “Documents for UNIX Volume 1” by Dolotta, Olson and Petrucelli (jan 1981)”
2) The complete manual for the Blit. this comes in a blue Teletype binder and includes
the full manual (including man pages) and circuit diagrams.
i’d prefer to have them go to some archival place, but send me a private email
if you interested and we’ll see what we can do.

Oh man, I remember “Scrotum Self-Repair” from alt.tasteless, back in the day. That was a
classic.

Bitsavers would probably be the best place. I have a copy of (1)
that I photocopied myself when I did some contracting in the
Bell System circa 1982. :-)
The Blit manual is certainly worth preserving.
My two cents,
Arnold

I sent a message asking for it.
Haven't heard anything back.

I'm curious, is this the 68K Blit, or the DMD 5620?
In either case, I do hope they get preserved and scanned.
