content: http://bitsavers.org/components/national/_cdrom/2003_National_Linear_Applications_Handbook.iso.gzOnce you've decompressed that file and mounted the ISO, you'll find a 2703 high quality PDFs which can be selected and browsed in several ways; see examples in the images.Pleasingly Bitsavers has RSS feeds, so you can see what's new. (For historical interest only, I've liked Weston's "The Instrument Sketch Book, 1956", and some info on "Weston Cadmium Cells".)

content: Yes if you treat it as an .iso (CD, USB etc.). But when extracting the files from the .iso to the HDD, it doesn't work (seems to need OPENFILE.EXE).I'm probably in over my head here...

content: Quote from: Benta on April 28, 2025, 11:03:20 pmI didn't extract them per se.I mounted them (as per googled instructions) cd'ed to the mounted directory then invoked firefox. Later I cp -rp the files from the mount directory to an ordinary directory, and firefoxed again.https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-mount-iso-file-on-linux/

content: Yes, mounting works.But it's a bit tedious compared to just opening "START.HTM" with a browser.

content: On my Macbook Pro I ran these commands in the shell:Code:curl http://bitsavers.org/components/national/_cdrom/2003_National_Linear_Applications_Handbook.iso.gz > handbook.iso.gzgunzip handbook.iso.gzhdimount mount handbook.ispopen /Volumes/ANALOGCD/START.HTMor for the last step use the Finder and open the START.HTM file in the mounted volume.I used curl because just downloading it in Chrome didn't work for me for some reason - maybe due to uBlock Origin?
