Hi:

There's a big assortment of pdp-11 and pdp-8 docs developing on the
highgate.comm.sfu.ca web site. Check out

http://highgate.comm.sfu.ca/pdp8 and
http://highgate.comm.sfu.ca/~rcini/pdp11

Kevin

PS If you have any docs you want to ADD to the site, then let me know and
I'll create an account for you!

Kevin
