Priceless historic CP/M documents now available

I recently picked up a Lobo Max-80 system. Accompanying the system were 2
manuals, apparently xeroxed and in pressboard covers, which I thought might
be of interest to someone here. Because they appear xeroxed (double-sided,
8.5 x 11), I doubt that they are originals, but given the methods of
documentation production way back then, I really don't know. Both may be of
more interest for the nostalgic collector rather than of any great historic
interest, (or for someone who doesn't have copies of the "final"
documentation). But given that disclaimer, this is what I have:

CP/M 3 Operating System: User's Guide, Programmer's Guide, and Programmer's
Utility Guide. Labeled "Preliminary: November 1982 Final Technical Review
Complete In Production for Final Edit and Graphics"

AND

CP/M-68K Operating System Beta Documentation rubber-stamped
"PRELIMINARY" and "STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL" on several pages. Labeled "First
Edition: October 1982"


If anyone is interested in either or both of these, email me an offer I
can't refuse (i.e., an unbuilt Altair or IMSAI kit, a non-functional Apple
I, or possibly a few bucks for packaging and postage). Most interesting bid
by December 15th accepted, void where prohibited by law, licensed drivers
only, batteries not included. Decision of the judges can be swayed with an
appropriate bribe. (Obviously if I were going for the BIG BUCKS, this would
be professionally hyped on eBay. So it's just going to comp.os.cpm and to
the classiccmp list members.)

(In case my tongue-in-cheek humor is somewhat muted by the medium, I am NOT
willing to pay postage to get rid of these. But I will accept anything over
and above that amount!)
