Prints?

I have this bit set that TK used to have a scan of a set of PDP-6 prints on his Web-site at MIT. Looking quickly, I don't think I saw them on BitSavers. I'll have to check, and if correct on both counts, get them up-loaded. Jnc (talk) 11:53, 11 January 2022 (CET)

Here's the latest archived copy: https://web.archive.org/web/20041209120010/http://www.ai.mit.edu/people/tk/pdp6/pdp6.html
The .ps files can still be downloaded. I think it's good if you can submit them to Bitsavers. Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 13:28, 11 January 2022 (CET)
I downloaded them off archive.org, but it seems I only got the first page. Anyway, I found I have the entire directory stashed away here:

Ah, good. I may at some point 'borrow' his System Modules text, and add it to our page on them.
Is there an easy way to convert the PostScript files to PDF's, before getting them uploaded to BitSavers? I have an oldish app on my old desktop that groks PostScript, but my new laptop is confused by them. Jnc (talk) 14:00, 11 January 2022 (CET)
