The mass of TI99 files in this latest set triggered a

many cases when the groups faded away under the onslaught of the PC... I've
searched in vain for years for an archive of the Capital Heath User's Group
files which primarily targeted the 8bit Heathkit H8 and H/Z89 systems.
While the CP/M archives for various platforms seem documented fairly well
(and reasonably available), some of the others (such as the Heath groups)
would definitely seem appropriate for search and rescue by such an
organization.....
If you've got something that you'd like to see available on archive.org,
just upload it and then let the admins know what collection you'd like it
added to.
