I'm trying to add IBM Personal System/2 Mouse Technical Reference (S68X-2229-00, 2nd ed., Jun. 1989, IBM Corporation) to my collection of dusty old documents before it is lost forever. I gave it my best shot: I searched the Web, I asked IBM, I e-mailed authors that used it as a reference in patents and so forth. If you can do a better job than me, you will be rewarded. If you are only able to find it at a library, scan it---that will do just as well.
I do have the first edition and will require you to scan a couple of pages (or take photos of them) in order to verify that you have the appropriate document.
Thanks!

Re: [REWARD] Request for documentation
this website http://www.oadg.or.jp/tosho/index.htm says you can buy it from these people http://www.infocreate.co.jp/en/ for £9.50 + p&p
Don't know how true that is anymore, might be outdated

Re: [REWARD] Request for documentation
It might be better to contact them over the phone, I found references to 1-800-879-2755 for NA publication inquiries.. I also found mailing list posts where someone claimed to have the first edition.
EDIT: You can order it from "IBM Publications Center", you need to create an account.. sadly it claims it costs $8.17 CAD.

Re: [REWARD] Request for documentation
As I've said, I tried with IBM already. As for the mailing list posts, you're probably talking about Bob Eager---that's another dead end.

Re: [REWARD] Request for documentation
Ordering it online doesn't work for you? I don't really want to order it.. maybe someone else can.
EDIT: I'm mistaken, while indexed on this site, it's "non-orderable". Apologies.
