Wrong. See below.
As an example, I just did a search for
"adsMstr_6-76.log"
which can be found at http://bitsavers.org/bits/Datapoint/cassetteDumps/
and there were no hits from google, yahoo, altavista, or google code
search.
That's because it wasn't indexed. A search for "20164_dos.c_1.1.bin"
does indeed point to bitsavers, which was indexed.
Maybe you have a robots.txt somewhere? Try re-submitting your site to
the engines again.
