Maybe, maybe not... If I have something scanned or otherwise available I will try to pass it on to anyone that wants it. I am not going to be selfish about it. BUT... To scan, say the P851 technical manual (both volumes) would take several days. I am not going to do that on the off-chance that somebody wants it. I don't want it, I have it on paper which I find more convenient at the bench. I have somewhat bitter experience of this. Some time ago somebody noticed I had a Trend HSR reader in one of my photos on filckr. They asked if I had the manual. I do, and I scanned it for him. I mentioned it here and nobody was interested in making it public. At the same time I found the Trend UDR manual, so I scanned that too. I assume nobody would want that, so I've not bothered to even try to get it 'out there'. -tony
