What happened to www.bitsavers.org?
It has been down for at least the past 24 hours.
I can still ping the website, but http requests time out.
The bitsaver domain name here in Australia resolves to 208.77.18.144.
Thanks

Hmmm - I just tried a VPN into the US and the bitsavers website is up and
running. The IP address is the same, so it is not a DNS issue.
Al, is Bitsavers blocking some HTTP access from Australia?
Thanks

Sorry, I did not see your post that there was no concern of losing Michael’s
SWTPC content. I simply did not want to see more great material disappear from
the internet as our peers age and become unable to maintain their web presence.
I’ve seen that happen over and over now.
I’ll remove my mir

It is all good now. Last night I tried to look for some PDP-11 documents
and it didn't work. As it didn't work today I thought I better report the
problem.
Thank you Jason for unblocking us down under. :-)
Best regards

I cannot see where the problem is.
Thank you Mike Douglas for taking the initiative and mirroring the website!
I appreciate it and everything else you are doing.
Mike Douglas and Mike Evenson please keep the mirrored content up and
running.

I removed the PCB off the CDROM drive and on closer inspection noticed a
region of substantial corrosion of solder joints on the component side.
About 70% of the PCB had solder joints that were nice and shiny like brand
new. The remaining section near the front of the drive was quite badly
corrode

Technology wise, there is an inherent limitation on the number or
writes with the SSD design.
While it is not as simple to calculate as a mechanical system, it does
have a limitation.
I don't know the exact number with the current technology, earlier
products had write life times in the tens and hu
