Sadly I have some later mainframe peripherals for which the documentation seems lost to time. Outside of maintenance manuals that came with the pieces.

- cptnapalm 6y agoFor mine, I never had any and can't find any hardware documentation. One critical piece of my system, I was only able to find a single photograph on the internet, much less anything more informative.
- epc 6y agoAt some point in the past twenty years IBM downsized its technical writing teams. When I started as an intern in 1990 there were ~250 people in the “Information Development” group in Poughkeepsie responsible for MVS, RACF, RMF and a variety of other mainframe products (plus hardware documentation). Today, there’s now maybe 20–25 people left in Poughkeepsie covering twice the workload as other products consolidated there (Endicott closed, Kingston closed, etc).
