I'm starting this thread in an attempt to bring to the community, access to DEC's documentation, published on MicroFiche.
SUMMARY:
INTENT:
To accomplish this, we will do the following:
APPEAL:
This will be a non-profit endeavor, for the posterity of the computing industry and mankind in general. Let there be no more "Ancient Libraries at Alexandria" - Lost.
P.S. - Feel free to PM me, if you have privacy concerns with your information or contribution.
SUMMARY:
This Underground is being started in the hopes that it will become a collecting point for others out there, like myself, who have original issues of DEC Microfiche sets.
These sets contain incomparable engineering and service details on DEC products. Much of it, unavailable in any other venue, and in danger of being LOST forever.

INTENT:
We are banding together, to transcribe to modern media and methods, the entire scope of knowledge contained in the various DEC MicroFiche sets.
To accomplish this, we will do the following:
- Register the fact of our possesion of Dec Microfiche sets with the Underground
- Exchange Details of the contents or existence of various sets [whether or not we have them]
- Obtain assistance [donations of equipment, software and funds] to accomplish the transcription
- Support the output by distributing and hosting it on the internet
- Accept requests for documents in the fiche library - to prioritize the transcription process.
APPEAL:
Please - If you are aware of any of these sets, let us know. If you possess one, consider donating or lending it to the Underground for the purposes of keeping it from being lost.
This will be a non-profit endeavor, for the posterity of the computing industry and mankind in general. Let there be no more "Ancient Libraries at Alexandria" - Lost.
