If someone were to send me the 99 FSM- I have access to a 20 page per minute
scanner that outputs in .pdf format. I could probably scan about 3-4
hundred pages in an hour or more depending on how fast I can flip the pages.
I could then provide a web or ftp resource where you can get this .pdf file.
All of this is of course theoretical since it is illegal to copy copyrighted
material ;)

Subject: DML: Online Service Manuals
This is in reply to someone's post a little while back about factory
service manuals being availiable online (sorry didn't save the post and
don't remember the name). I got this idea from IBM for the factory
service manual for my home computer. IBM sells the manual if you want it
but they also make it availiable for download in adobe PDF format. This
makes it that once you download it you can view it in realtime when you
want and print out the info you need. Like an electronic book. If
someone had the factory service manual(s) for the daks and had the full
registered version of adobe acrobat they could scan the manual and
create an online book. I don't have a manual or the program and don't
know how much the registered version costs but it's just a thought.
If we could find a way, even through an outside company that does this,
Jon could set up a section on the home page where you could download the
manual for your particular model year(s). Again just a thought
BTW, I used adobe because it seems to begood at keeping the file size
down. The service manual for my computer is quite large (approx. 900
pages) and only downloaded as a 600K file.
