It also doesn't mean it's on a dusty shelf waiting to be given freely to 
anyone.  Part of the problem is identifying the document and finding the 
group(s) that can supply it.  Before 93-94ish I could point to where they
might be but since then DEC moved out of the mill and sold off a huge 
amount of properties, my worry is information like that could have been 
lost in the shuffle or worse tossed in the garbage as "too old".  Keep in 
mind the machines in question are 6-10 years old now.  The other problem 
is even when I worked for DEC finding some things was an art in itself.

However at the time the machine was made prints, drawings, plans and 
listings (base manufacturing and support data) were archived and 
internally distributed to at least continuation engineering(manufacturing
support) and Customer services support engineering(field services 
support).
