Wow. $99 is too rich for my blood but I'd be willing to contribute a portion to have access.

Likewise.
I'd give $15.00 so that it can be owned by one of the group. No good to me but I'm sure its invaluable to some people here.

Wow, now that's a manual!
I think this goes back to the Manuals thread. What should we make available, and what should we not make available on the web? I would be willing to put some on the web (the non-mainstream items maybe), but I would like more of Jim's input - the discussion kind of died in the other thread. Too bad this was not discovered earlier in the auction.
(Thinking out loud here) One idea that I have is to make the manual links more "secure" and have to user be logged in to see the manual section of the forum (which would contain links to the manuals - where ever they are hosted). Atari Age (atariage.com) did this in their forum for the politics and religion section - don't know if it is possible with Ikonboard.
I think Jim should have the final say-so in this since he is the owner of the board and people will go after him, or away from him (sponsors).
I'll pitch in $15 for the cause since I'm sure that there is some stuff that we could use.

Another idea is not to post them at all but have them avaliable to whomever asks for them. For example someone can scan the manuals and send it to a person in charge of the manuals. Then we just have a sticky thread that is a list of available manuals so members can see if what they need is available. Then when someone wants a copy they just email that one person in charge and they in return email them a free copy of the manual in PDF form. It would just be friends sharing there manuals with each other. That way SMC isn't responsible for providing the manuals on the web.

I'm going to call the seller tomorrow morning.
In order to get decent reproductions for our use, we need to be sure they are quality reproductions already... Scanning a cheap copy will bleed through from back to front; not very desireable.

Hope the call goes well Jim!!
$15.00 into the project for me as well. Think scanning that much material is just too much of chore for any one person. Maybe just a photocopy or two of the orginal that could be checked out in sections. Make whatever you like for your own use while you have that section on loan. Looks to be a great bit of history.
