Just a quick announcement that, thanks to the incomparable generosity
of Jay West at Classic Computers, *HUMONGOUS* CP/M is now back on
line. Currently the URL is http://www.classiccmp.org/cpmarchives/index.php
but sometime in the next few days I should get the permanent URL,
www.cpmarchives.org, switched over as well.

*HUMONGOUS* currently houses the following:

Site mirrors of two dozen classic CP/M repositories and CP/M sites,
including: the Walnut Creek CD-ROM, OAK and WUArchives repositories,
the Rlee Peters Collection, homepages of Hal Bower, CB Falconer, Dave
Brooks, and more.

A special section devoted to the Radio Shack TRS-80 line, including
over 13000 software packages for the CoCo, Model 100, MC10 and Model I/
III/IV, some 300 CP/M reference and programming books, complete, or
nearly-complete, collections of a dozen different TRS-80 magazines (80
Micro, Micro-80, Softside, etc.) and over a thousand hardware and
software manuals.

My CP/M-Live! bootable DVD project, and my own small collection of CP/
M software and related stuff that I haven't seen elsewhere.

Feedback always welcome!

Almost seven weeks later I'm still getting a 404 on the latter
site.

Thanks, Al.

In the Italian NG dedicated to vintage computing we noticed this, and we
was wondering on this....

The classiccmp.org site is back. The cpmarchives.org site still
gets you a 404.

Is there a way to download CD images? I see only individual
files. Reconstructing the CD's could take awhile... :-(
