Steve Bellovin had volunteered to scan the 5620 schematics but his 
scanner has just broken.  Would anyone else be willing to do it?  If 
so, I will mail you the schematics and then I will distribute the 
scanned files on anonymous ftp on research.att.com.  

The schematics I have are about 25 pages which I have reduced to fit
onto 8.5x14" paper.  Greg Woods (woods@Elegant.COM) told me he has
a package of 100 11x17" pages but he hasn't yet responded to my request
to send me a copy.  It sounds like his package is a superset of mine.

On other fronts, I have sent an update to the 630_pkg to the Toolchest
which includes 32ld and other stuff, but I haven't seen it show up yet.
I hope to send the 5620 software generation system source in to the
Toolchest soon where it will be available for $100.  I have got it to
compile on both suns and on System V machines.  The package will include
my latest version of Keith Muller's layers as well, just to keep the
stuff all together.  I have also put that layers up for anonymous ftp
on research.att.com in dist/pub/dmdlayers.tar.Z.

I also plan on putting up the 5620 ROM source in the Toolchest for $100
once I get the approvals.  I found the source on a backup tape.

At this point I'm not planning on putting up source for the 
character-XT or streams-XT layers.  Packaging for them would be very 
machine dependent since it includes a kernel driver, and I don't 
really want to go through the trouble of packaging.  I don't know if I 
could get the latest source for those anyway since I think they're
probably somewhere in USL.
