If the 650 stuff includes either the negative index register instructions (they plus table lookup equal were an RPQ), please scan them for bitsavers. The same goes for any 704 or 709 manuals you have.
Even better if there's somebody willing to scan and OCR the lot. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Last year he was diagnosed with Alzheimer, and over the past few months my siblings and me have been emptying his apartment and storage room, and we've come across a sizeable quantity of IBM "stuff", from manuals for the 650 to old square cm "integrated circuits" and even a magnetic core memory card. My siblings weren't in the least interested in any of it, so I took it, and although it's nice to look at, our house is already full enough as it is, so... If anyone thinks they can offer a good home to these things, and I will, hopefully soon, put pictures of everything that surfaces on my website, feel free to contact me off this list and we can take it from there. You'll most definitely be paying for shipping (from Lithuania), and based on what I'm going to find out on fleabay, I might ask for a bit more.
