For many years, the unix-pc.* (often crossposted to comp.sys.att) newsgroups
carried a LOT of good information; since January 1991 the comp.sys.3b1 and
comp.sources.3b1 are overlapping unix-pc.* (which goes away in a month or so).

Most of the programs and technical discertations are archived at osu-cis,
aka cheops.cis.ohio-state.edu, and a other places.  uunet is presently
archiving the comp.sources.3b1 material.

Since approx. mid-1987 I've "archived" nearly every article in any newsgroup
having anything pertaining to the 7300/3B1/UNIXPC and now that our Users'
Group has an officially-elected Librarian, we're going to organize that
material and make it available on (at least one) West Coast archive site
and (hopefully) also at osu-cis.

Please remember that all (most?) of us have full-time jobs (or school) which
often requires that we spend time doing something OTHER than 3B1/7300 stuff,
so don't expect miracles overnight.  :-)
