Oddly enough, I stopped by the local suplus computer shop today, and in 
addition to an E size HP DraftPro I had to resist buying, they had (what 
looked like) a complete manual set for AT&T Unix System V for the 3B2.

Don't recall what release (it was low single digits), but it might be 
handy if you decide to go for the free machine...
