I swapped some email with a collector in Switzerland who had some more ECRM schematics.

Joss Dreesen? He, another guy & I traded emails last year.
Yes on any sort of repository; to that end I have done some upgrades on my files. I have "rolled" [integrated] my list [in Module Utilization form] of ECRM boards that are on the 36-slot DEC backplane [w/ DEC M99 metal ID stamp] into a list of the schematics he sent over to us.
So, I have boards that he have schematics of and vicea versa. I'm interested in seeing how your list compares to mine.
In that list was an abbreviated Module Ut that seems to be how to put them together onto a standard Omnibus backplane.
As stated, I have the 36-slot DEC backplane labeled M99.
I also have two Document Feeders, one w/out laser and the other without the Servo stepper card. Both of the DF's have identical Superior stepper motors, lens [~3"], lasers, optical paths, similar roller gearing [toothed belts] but slightly different doc feed mechanisms.
One DF is missing the laser (did I remove & store it 3 decades back?), the other does not have the Stepper Drive board?. I remember seeing a spinning hex prism on one but have to verify such details.
Also, I have an empty 12-slot card cage; the backplane board is silkscreen'd ECRM. The backplane is offset the wrong way to not interfere w/ a Front Panel and is too narrow. In the pix is a FP that some gold scrapper dyked the edge fingers off. I may use the empty backplane for a test bed and splice a Douglas card onto the FP for extension.
There are some documents, I think. I do not recall anything on hardware, but I may have listings. That goes into another section of storage that needs to be cataloged.
I never got any cabinets or "skins". As indicated before, I dealt with other guys that were parting out weekly newspapers and printshops ~30 years ago. I have some Typeset8 stuff:
PA60/PA61/PR68/BRPE & some weird unidentified reader/punch stuff.
I will alert the other guy that interest is perking up, in case he doesn't follow this website. He had a number of cards, loose w/out the physical accoutrements; I don't recall if he had a backplane. His boards were a subset of my backplane grouping.
