I'd like to add my two pennies to this discussion. Advantage of FSM on web site is the same like advantage of Internet against book (CD almost the same may be even worse because you need computer to see CD). I posted owner's manual and parts numbers on ours site. After I did it I had never opened the originals again! Now I have access to it from anywhere. I find out it very convenient and I hope others too. Plus I hope the data can help someone and it's important too! The main problem for big amount of data is right index. Because no one don't want to download 10 or more pages before the right one. Other problem is size - 300Kb for black and white page it's a huge size. So there are two ways to make posting of FSM on web site really useful - decrease size of pages and improve indices. I'm going to post my FSM and I'll try to do pages as small as possible (and keep good resolution of course). --- John Harvey <harvey5691@xxxxxxx> wrote: > I got a service manual on CD rom for my 56 from > mwaller@xxxxxxxxxxxx they have a whole list of > manuals you can buy. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Tom & Kellie Willson > To: mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Sunday, August 11, 2002 1:11 PM > Subject: Re: IML: scanning in FSMs for the website > > > What are sources for the various manuals? > Specifically for a 1960? > > TheCarNutz@xxxxxxx wrote: > > In a message dated 8/10/02 6:51:20 AM Pacific > Daylight Time, deadfishe@xxxxxxxxxxxx writes: > > > > I have been thinking about Kenyon's suggestion > about scanning in things > like service manuals > > > Mark: On the surface it sounds like a good > idea, but I would question how much space it would > require for the hundreds of pages, for all those > years to be listed?
