# Included gubbins Polaroid CI-5000 documentation, software, marketing materials, sample images and more! # Documentation My CI-5000 came with a whole envelope of assorted documentation, although unfortunately a lot is missing... [![PaletteSoftwareEnvelope_web.jpg](https://guides.nycto.io/uploads/images/gallery/2025-06/scaled-1680-/lqAsoJ2q85p3JxrD-palettesoftwareenvelope-web.jpg)](https://guides.nycto.io/uploads/images/gallery/2025-06/lqAsoJ2q85p3JxrD-palettesoftwareenvelope-web.jpg) In the interest of preservation I've scanned everything I have, and here's where you can find that :)

I believe most of these are from October-December 1992 (the included floppies have a date code of Oct92, and my machine was manufactured in November 1992)
