For the links to things in this group's list, I got a persistent "400 Bad Request" error. Not sure why, as your links have everything I'd think they needed.
I think I have all the supplements Raul and Dan have at this point. (The ones I'm missing they're missing too) I've asked Dan if there's an archive of the Aftertouch magazines.
I'm still missing, if they exist, the owner's manual, service manual (in case I need to get it worked on by someone who doesn't have the service manual for it already) and Howard Massey's Amsco book. (I have it in hardcopy, but I'm really hoping I'm not going to have to scan it myself, as even with the hovercam it's going to take a very long time and I don't trust my scan quality) There may be other things I'm not aware of that it'd be very useful for me to have. (As long as they're not basic texts on MIDI, as I'm very strong with it, including innovations far past the DXII time period) So y'all feel free to tell me what else I'm missing.

Subject: [YamahaDX] Re: DX7IIFD Manuals and Documentation.
Okay.
The links for the owners manuals, within this yahoo group, are under "
Files > DX7 IIFD all I have > Manuals > Owners"
The page is here:
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/YamahaDX/files/DX7%20IIFD%20all%20I%20have/Manuals/Owners/
There are two links, which are very long and odd looking, which I'll paste here, but you might need to go to the page and look for them, if these don't work.
The file names are
dx7IId-man.pdf
and
dx7ii.pdf
The links are
https://xa.yimg.com/df/YamahaDX/dx7IId-man.pdf?token=hgXENx1jd8P-Q8JrM20JedkWHxCthz_Uj49FcFfak466Nf2hDwx4tX6E0leowrR21i3hzs9leDUrtDtnGLyaDBgB0sDBPOk9R-Omqz88pKCqSmf5p0jvIl9ZM_bW5ZM0sEvkiUXSgOYDeFtfPsRnigwBA0GVo2Cu&type=download
and
https://xa.yimg.com/df/YamahaDX/dx7ii.pdf?token=eeMkHOhUVnK66TRPVyxILdv0L8GIr3vuwXXEDwP3b38PanjbuPi4v75-CkFknOGqARW7IAZteTDUYSHlMWcG7oZvGkCdGW38UunDNvRz7WUhDvkutkCeRHRFmebUotgIbk1nKc6FfsPKdwQZfKrgLmlJCg&type=download
For the booklets, and maybe some of the documentation, Rawl is one of the main sources of those, on that forum I linked to, but he didn't always make it clear what the content was. It might be worth contacting him to see what else he has. As I understand it, he didn't add all of his collection to the downloads section of that forum. He planned to set up his own site with it all, but I don't know if he ever did.
At the top of his downloads thread for booklets, it shows an image which says
DX7II.FD/D
DIGITAL PROGRAMMABLE ALGORITHM SYNTHESIZER SUPPLEMENTAL BOOKLET
but he only refers to them as "DX7II supplemental booklets".
In the first post, in that thread, there are links to PDFs for each individual booklet.
The thread is here, but I've pasted the main content below in case the page is too hard to read with your software:
https://yamahamusicians.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=154&t=9609
Some of them may just be scans of the printed documents, of course, without actual text content other than as an image.
Here are the contents of Rawl's first post, with all the links for the booklets. I see at least a couple that aren't on your list:

After a PM request for download links for the DX7II supplemental booklets previously available on the old site downloads section, I decided to publish download links for these hosted on my company web site. Here are the links for those booklets that Daniel Forró and I scanned and converted to PDF:

I have much other DX & FM synthesis material in digital form but will need to establish a formal web area on one of my sites if I am to be able to host them in an organized and readily available format. Meanwhile, I hope some of you find these useful...
Jan 2018 - update thanks to kaizendave of this forum for providing:
01_Quick_Reference_Guide.pdf
11_Modifying_Preset_Voices.pdf
to the collection!
Cheers,
Rawl
