The FTP at ftp.digital.com seems to be down. Does anyone know whether
there's a mirror of it? I would like to get some manuals that where
hosted there and unfortunately aren't available at the HP FTP.
Thanks in advance,

I believe that stuff, in particular the firmware, has moved to HP's
site. Maybe the manuals you are looking for are there as well ?
Some time ago I ran a wget against ftp.digital.com, just in case,
but I'm not sure if it's a complete mirror (I have about 9GB).
So if you have an idea what you are looking for,
I might look it up.

Thanks for replying. I am looking for Alpha stuff. It was available at
these locations:
ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/info/semiconductor/ (probably only the
literature subdirectory, but I'm not sure)
ftp.digital.com/pub/digital/Alpha/
ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Alpha/ (this might be a link to the above one,
but again I'm not sure)
Would it be possible for you to run 'tree' against this locations and
e-mail me the result? And possibly the size of these directories?

yes, a lot of zip's and pdf's on alpha CPUs and MoBos.

probably, since I can't find them in my archive.

I'll send it via PM.
The directory you asked for is about 70MB.
If zipped, it is some 40MB, probably too large for PM :-(
I might be able to provide it via a temporary HTTP download.

http://h18002.www1.hp.com/alphaserver/technology/chip-docs.html
contains some alpha docs from the digital ftp site.

Still looking? If so, you may want to try the Wayback machine, or be
specific about which docs you need.
The wayback machine can be slow to the point of unresponsiveness, and
some DEC stuff from the website (not the ftp site) is explicitly
excluded, but the Digital Semi stuff was in there last time I checked.
Wayback machine sample url:
http://web.archive.org/web/20070317053600/http://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/info/semiconductor/literature/
There are various bits of Digital Semi (and related Alpha chip)
literature squirreled away in various other places too, e.g.
http://farrer.net/~rbf/files/docs/Alpha/ and
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/dec-docs/index.html
Good luck,

A lot (if not most) of it has made it to ftp.hp.com.
I found Wayback not always the best choice for ftp content.

I haven't had enough time to investigate this matter recently. I
haven't tried the Wayback Machine because I thought it doesn't archive
FTPs. Although I found most of the stuff on the hp.com site, the
Wayback Machine seems to be the only place to have a copy of pub/
Digital/info/semiconductor/alpha - which contains floppies needed
during Windows NT installation (WNT400-E.zip).
Best,

not quite, my offline copy seems to have it too :-)

Traditionally images for floppies were on the CD, at least
for other architectures. (From the days before the BIOS
would boot CDs.)
