I suggest to contact Al Kossow for this matter. As a Museum Curator and
owner of bitsavers.org, he is keeping an impressive bunch of scanned
manuals and software from years. I am absolutely sure that he will do the
right thing about all this estate and legacy.

On the other hand, it's Warren.

Cordiales saludos / Kind Regards.
