> a collection of 13,000 manuals now lives on the Internet Archive

Why are we even doing this? This is just humanity giving free extra training to its future robot overlords. /s

Most of that was vintage test equipment AFAICT. It is nice to be able to query an LLM and say "how do I fix this boat anchor with these symptoms". These tools have been quite helpful for retrocomputing hobbies for me.

Hopefully they'll be able to write better manuals.
