a fine archival, always valuable to get old documents scanned - sometimes when these go the information is forever lost

Sorry for asking only just now, am I putting these manuals in the right section?
If not, tell me where to put them...

I could be doing something wrong and I don't know what to do.

And please say what you think of this scanning work, is there anything that could be improved?

And sorry for my english, i'm using google translate...

Scanning manuals is great! And the quality looks also pretty good to me.
But maybe archive.org would be a better place so more people could find them (even if this forum might not exist one day).

And maybe you should check theretroweb.com first if they are not already available so that you don't do all the work again.

Well, unfortunately you're right.
That's why I'm worried about transferring it to file and upload somewhere for all the people who like
old PC stuff (like me...) 😀

Good job including a small description, with the model number only it's not easy to tell what the manual is about

Hi SDumas,

you mentioned Philips P3202 manual in a post from january. I recently got one of this machines and i'm looking for documentation of it. So it's no surprise that i'ld love to see the mentioned manual online.

No pressure or anything, just a quick reminder that there are people out there, which love your work! 😀

Hi Rolling,

Yes, you're right, this manual is missing, I don't know what happened to not scan it...
But you did well to remind me.

As it is not yet scanned, give me some time and i upload it on Archive.org

One thing I verified is that there is practically no information about this Philips model on the web.
Therefore, it is good to make this manual available to everyone.
