Sellam -

I picked up the 1131 (minus keyboard and power supply) from Cornell in
February of 1999. IIRC, it had been sitting outside a math professor's
office for several years. I haven't done anything with the system since I
received it (kind of a _long_ term project), though I did get in touch with
a manager at IBM's corporate archives and confirmed that they don't have
much in the way of documentation for the system -- no prints or maintenance
guide.

I guess DEC/CPQ's not the only company to do a crummy job of maintaining
their history, though that doesn't really make me feel better...
