Online archive of vintage computer manuals [1]

['Rob Beschizza']

Date: 2025-06-06

The Manx Catalog archives computer manuals, and there are a great many to be found there: "22165 manuals, 10104 of which are online, at 61 websites." It's an archive of archives!

Some interesting gaps. I would hazard that the manuals that came with the 8-bit Commodores and ZX Spectrum were especially important historically in terms of turning humans into computer users. But I suppose they're also not remotely endangered or obscure!

Previously:

• Complete instructions for making a replica of the Minivac 601 educational computer kit

• The Retro Web archives old hardware and the drivers you need to make it happy again
