IBM UCSD p-System Part Numbers
Well, these unopened UCSD p-System packages on ebay went for a crapload:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sealed-Vintage- ... 2323215952
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sealed-Vintage- ... 2323234093
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sealed-Vint-IBM ... 2323207133
Holy balls, at about $250 each that was a total of about $1000!
Now there is another shot at the users guide and software for $299:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-UCSD-p-SYST ... 2739005067
But since I was doing a bit of research about what should be included I figured I would at least post what I found. A common problem with older software is that it may have come with more than one manual, and may have come with various extras bundled. Some related products may even share the same manuals. In tradition IBM style, product, binders, manuals, and disk all have an assigned "part number".
There is virtually no information out there about the IBM PC branded UCSD p-System, and only some about the generic UCSD p-System. Needless to say, there are no disk dumps or manual scans out there.
The 1983 product numbers for the UCSD p-System related products were listed as:
6024016 UCSD P-System'" with Pascal 625.00
6024033 UCSD Pascal Compiler 175.00
6024017 UCSD P-System'" with FORTRAN 77 625.00
6024034 UCSD FORTRAN Compiler 175.00
6024040 UCSD P-System'" Runtime Support 50.00
The above eBay items were clearly not the Fortran addition or Fortran Compiler.
My best guess is that this was a complete set of "6024016 UCSD P-System'" with Pascal" plus "6024033 UCSD Pascal Compiler". Since the eBay items were sealed, we don't get to see what disks were included. So the following are just guesses lumped together from a few shreds of information:
- Product 6024016 UCSD P-System with Pascal
IBM6936523 - User's Guide for the UCSD p-System
Binder:
6936526 User's Guide for the UCSD p-System (First Edition January 1982)
Disks:
6936529 - "UCSD p-System - STARTUP:, Version IV.0 Release 1"
6936534 - "UCSD p-System - SYSTEM 2:, Version IV.0 Release 1"
6936539 - "UCSD p-System - SYSTEM 4:, Version IV.0 Release 1"
6936544 - "UCSD p-System - UTILITY:, Version IV.0 Release 1"
6936549 - "UCSD p-System - EXTRAS:, Version IV.0 Release 1"
(The one currently on eBay has the PASCAL: disk with it)
IBM6936580 - Beginner's Guide for the UCSD p-System
Disks?
- Product 6024033 UCSD Pascal Compiler
IBM6024033 - UCSD Pascal Reference for the UCSD p-System
Binder:

Disks?
- Product 6024017 UCSD P-System'" with FORTRAN 7
Disks? It sounds like this would have a disk set similar to 6024016 UCSD P-System with Pascal.
