Ground archive

[snelson@icaen.uiowa.edu (Steve Nelson)]

A few weeks ago ground.ecn.uiowa.edu suffered a drive failure and has been 
offline since that time.  I have not found a replacement drive yet (50pin 
narrow, single-ended SCSI, which was commonly used several years ago).
Unfortunately, I have been told that the recent backup tapes are 
unavailable.  So, if the ground machine is ever resurrected, the backup 
must come from a site that mirrored ground.  

I still read csa2 on a different machine, but it is not configured to post 
followups so it is hard to communicate with this newsgroup.  It is 
surprising that several weeks went by without someone mentioning the loss 
of the ground archive.  I was beginning to get worried that no-one cared 
;-)

Apple ][ forever!
