I have scanned my RC11 and RS64 manuals. The text is generally 400dpi, the drawings 600dpi (including drawings inside the maintenance manuals). Like most stuff that I scan that is likely to be of interest to bitsavers, I store it in the following directory tree which mimics what they use. My files can be found at: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2v4WRwISEQRWWFFdVpCZWFTZEU These particular scans are now in the (new) directories: .../pdf/dec/disc (For the RS64) .../pdf/dec/unibus (For the RC11) Note the drawing updates for the RS64 to take it from revision H to revision K (and perhaps L - but that part was written over in ink on the copy). Also, note that manual DEC-00-HRS64-E-D_RS64_disk_file_maintenance_manual Has a page that was placed in the document by Professor Marleau of UW (Wisconsin) Electrical Engineering. It appears to be in regard to a manual repair undertaken on the RS64 (which is the very same drive that is in my collection). Also perhaps noteworthy that this RS64's "twin" which resided in the UW Computer Systems Lab was at one point "resurrected" by flipping the disk upside down. JRJ
