[sdiy] Re: Seeking JP-6 Schematics/Service Manual

   I have gotten two letters in the years since I put up the DIY Archive, 
one was from some PCB CAD software company asking me to remove their free 
cad program.  No big loss as far as I was concerned.
   The other letter was from none other than Bernie Hutchins who trolled 
through and found one of the Electronotes scans (and no, I wasn't aware 
of what it was).
   As for the big manufacturers, I'm quite suprised that none of them 
have complained, but I think as long as we stick with products that have 
been long since defunct, then it's not really a problem.  No, it's not 
legal, but I'm sure it does save them some issues about people asking for 
manuals.  And in some cases, such as Korg, they just plain don't HAVE 
some of the documents any more, so the only way to get them is by finding 
a copy or by downloading a scan.  

   Cheers,

   Tony
