I can't speak for HP on this, but I will say that the old IO docs will
only be in the queue of requested items from HP once we've gotten some of
the others out.  We need to prioritize the docs we need, and the stuff
that's in more modern machines (even the 715) is much higher on the lsit.

That should work, in theory.  I'm not sure anyone's ever tried though.
