Description:

These two spiral-bound notebooks are tthose used by Bob Metcalfe and David Boggs as they worked on designing and troubleshooting their early Ethernet prototype boards. Book I is very detailed and nearly full while book II is mainly empty. Metcalfe's writing is large and he used more colors to differentiate his ideas than Boggs did.
