Heck, around here, we don't call those "relics". They're essential
documentation :-). And they're still used.

We also have all of the 1975 code and schematics for the HP2649 OEM-able
version of the HP2645 terminal, spread over about 10 fully-filled binders.
And we also have all of the original documentation (and application notes)
for the original 1975 MITS Altair, held in about six binders. Of all of that
documentation, this one page is my favorite, in part because no one believes
it could be true:

    http://aics-research.com/nostalgia2.html

...but it is. I used to talk to Bill often, occasionally once a week for
weeks on end. I had just starting teaching college then and I liked what MITS
had done with their BASIC, not knowing at the time that it was an
appropriated version of DEC BASIC.

I put this page up for Gavin about four or five years ago, when he and I were
discussing a similar topic.

The Altairs, btw, still work.
