[TUHS] 3B20S UNIX 5.0 "Available Documentation" Spotted on eBay

[segaloco via TUHS]

Just sharing this document list I spotted on an eBay listing as I was perusing things: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/HIcAAOSwnoZjoSNA/s-l1600.jpg

The manual in the auction[1] is interesting in that it features the Bell Logo scratched off, presumably as this was sold/shipped right around that magic flip of the switch.  I keep seeing variation upon variation of these covers, some 5.0 with the bell, some 5.0 without, some System V with, some System V without.  The oddest I've seen recently is actually another active eBay auction[2] as of this typing in which the typical grid-pattern cover is seen but the title is given as "UNIX operating system" rather than just "UNIX system".  Anywho, going to describe the document here so the text is in the archive somewhere.

After the above link is a document titled "Section 3 - Available Documentation" with a handwritten note indicating this is a section of DC-001 which is in turn listed as the "3B20S Documentation Catalog".

The contents of the document are (all listed documents are Issue/Version 1):

Table A - 3B20S Processor System Predelivery Documents

3B20S Technical Data Sheets - TDS-01
3B20S Site Preparation Manual - SPM-01
3B20S Documentation Catalog - DC-001

Table C - 3B20S Processor System Basic Documentation

Looks like there is another page stapled behind that one.  I've reached out to the seller to see if they're willing to share the rest info on the pieces of paper.

Looks like the OAS card I happened upon recently has friends, and what I wouldn't give for some of that 3B20 stuff.  I think that's going to be one of my next documentation goals, to track down some more 3B20 documents, there seems to actually be a surprising lack of 3B20 documentation that has been scanned.
