Flynn's Original Paper about Computer Organization

Flynn's Original Paper about Computer Organization

[Mohamed Bamakhrama]

Hi all,
I am looking for Michael Flynn original paper about computer
organization in which Flynn devised the so-called "Flynn Taxonomy". I
tried Google, IEEE Xplore, ACM, Yahoo but in vain. I would be very
grateful if someone can post a scanned version of the manuscript.
Here is the citation as generated by the paper BibTeX entry in Google scholar:

Michael J. Flynn. Some Computer Organizations and Their Effectiveness. IEEE
Transactions on Computers, 21(9):948{960, 1972.

link: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=Some+computer+organizations&hl=en&lr=&btnG=Search


Many thanks in advance.

Best regards,

His request is off-topic, and "post" would be a violation, but he is 
allowed a personal copy under "fair use" doctrine unless the law has 
changed recently.

US copyright is unique, things on which copyright has expired were 
re-protected when the law changed, making copying which was legal when 
done a crime after the fact. I'm not sure British law using 400 year old 
precedents is better, just more predictable.

Goto any large university library or computer science department, they
should be able to find this for you.  This isn't an LKML issue.
