Welcome to the community portal, where CHW projects are planned, requests are placed, policies are outlined and a bit of socializing and fun takes place.
Recent News
- External links update - After several days of slogging through External links search (we had several thousands of links to Bitsavers!), I think I have found, and fixed, all the changed ones. I may have missed a few (among so many), so please keep an eye out.
- In the process, I discovered that we had a lot (although not as many as to Bitsavers!) of links to Manx-docs.org/collections/ - which has also gone away! I found alternative locations for all of it (worst case, in the Internet Archive, for a few), as described in DEC manuals. So, now I'm off on another trawl.
- Oh, and Frain Research's site has gone away, too; again, several copies exist. More things to fix! I'd better get to work! Jnc (talk) 08:01, 10 October 2026 (UTC)
- Bitsavers re-organization, and External links here - The file hierarchy at Bitsavers has undergone some re-organization (particularly for UNIBUS and QBUS items). So, many of our 'External links' links which go to Bitsavers are no longer working. I am checking through External links search, and will track them all down and update them - but it will probably take a while (we have a lot of Bitsavers links).
- Linking to Bitsavers is still, I feel, to be preferred over the use of other external sources for documents, because Bitsavers is associated with the Computer History Museum, which is a fairly substantial institution, and thus less likely to vanish with no warning (as Antonio's collection at Manx did - something else I need to clean up). So, if there is a choice between two copies of something, one on a personal site, and the other on Bitsavers, the one on Bitsavers should always be preferred, I reckon.
