Anyone know what happened to Mike Holley's excellent swtpc.com site?

Michael let his swtpc.com domain go and it appears it is now owned by someone else. Probably just someone hoping to sell the domain someday. I happened to wget the entire website as a precaution last summer as I was about to restore my first SWTPC 6800 and knew I needed the excellent material from his website.

For now, you can get to the website as a branch off deramp.com: http://deramp.com/swtpc.com

Thank you! IMHO, the SwTPC 6800 is one of the most underrated computers from that era. I'm glad you were able to save the info.

Hey Mike thanks.

Now that my Altair dives are up and running (with some help from you),
I'm off to FLEX-land with my 6809 and found I needed the old swtpc docs.

You can add 'curator' to your many titles!

Hey Tom,

Nice to see you on here as well.
I believe I helped you get a Altair up once. You shipped it to me when I
was in California a few years back. Hope you're both doing well!

Yup, that's me! We're doing well and I finally got enough confidence in my thru-hole soldering ability to build my own Altair 8800c so the Grant Stockly Altair you built for me wouldn't be lonely. Now to tackle the job of learning to soldering SMDs!
