Set 2 List created 20190628. Updated 20200119. 8 fat ring binders, brown, all same size. There is a spine pouch; nothing in them. All have "HEWLETT PACKARD" printed in white on front cover, lower right corner. I guillotined a tan manilla folder into strips that fit in the spine pouches. Will start with just pencilled numbers 1...8, to at least keep track of which binders are which. Also did a quick review of binder contents, to see if there's any intrinsic ordering or contents list. There isn't. Perhaps that was on the original (removed?) spine cards, if any. So I'll just arbitrarily number the binders in order of the content's interest to me. In general: These binders contain manuals related to the RTE-IVB operating system, for HP-1000 systems. The manuals are arranged in whatever order fitted into a binder. Some of them are quite fat, so there can be 1, 2, or more manuals per binder. Some manuals are preceeded by a 'Manual Update' set of pages, with a yellow cover page, with this set stapled together. Smaller manuals are also stapled, larger ones are held by the binder holes only. The major manuals have thicker card front and rear covers, with the covers printed in colour. All manuals contain their own indexes, and often a documentation 'map' showing the manual's place in the overall documentation structure (unrelated to the binder ordering.) Contents are black-ink printed, except where noted. Contrast is good, with little to no spotting. Based on similarities to the much larger 'Set 1' for RTE-6/VM, I'm guessing this is a very incomplete remnant of a larger set. Now missing the first binder(s) containing contents lists. And for some reason someone in the past has removed the spine title sheets from all binders. === Binder 1 ================================================================= HP 1000 M/E/F-series firmware installation and reference manual.
