Re: Obtaining Service Data
As Jon said, the main problem is getting hold of data that isn't already on the existing CD-ROMs - especially the earlier stuff. It is too expensive to buy much (apart from bargain job-lots) for a CD-ROM that might sell a hundred copies in the first year if I'm lucky. Sometimes I can borrow the odd item, but with a target of 800-1000 manuals per CD, it takes a long time to accumulate enough good material for another CD. I have a box full of manuals under the spare bed, but have not looked through it yet - I suspect it's the usual post-war stuff.
There is also the issue of finding time to sort, scan and process it all; but once I have enough material to make it worthwhile I will find the time and get on with it!
