Just for the record, some days ago I stumbled over physical manuals for the STC 2920, to be specific 'Storage Technology Corporation 2920 Tape Subsystem Maintenance Manual, January 1986'. Volume 1 and Volume 2. Original STC binders. Volume 2 still in unopened plastic wrapping. They're heavy and would be expensive to ship from Norway I guess. But if in the future anyone would need them I may still have them - will try to find somewhere to store them, for a few years at least. But they appear to be approximately the same as is on bitsavers already. Looking at the ebay link in the earlier post, my Volume 1 has a page that looks the same, except that my copy has 'January 1986' printed as well. Volume 2 is called 'Logics'. As I haven't opened it I haven't checked exactly what's in there, and/or if that is covered by the bitsavers scans. -Tor
