Looks like I have originals for all of the photocopied data sheets
and RCA manuals you have (and possibly one or two you don't), but I
do not have any issues of VIPER.

I got my VIP about 16 years ago for $35 at Dayton (same year I got
an ASR-33 w/110 baud data set for $20). What manuals I have, came
from the local RCA distributor for cover price ($5) or free.
Somewhere, I have a cassette of CHIP-8 and most of the CHIP-8 games
from the VIP manuals - I typed it all in and saved it to tape myself.
One of my ultra-low priority projects is to locate the tape, slurp
it into a modern machine and cut MP3s of the programs and see if I
can use my Rio PMP300 (or portable CDDA/MP3 player) as a load device.
