Something has been rattling around my head and I
have the urge to get it
onto the ether (sorry I know it hasn't been a week yet, but the time did
change).
Somebody needs to set up an archival site for EPROM images, and we need to
come up with a regular/practical method of getting data burnt into a chip
for anybody that needs it.

Great minds think alike. I'm in the process of doing EXACTLY this. The
kicker is twofold:
1). USWorst, or some other carrier, needs to make DSL service available in
my area so I can put my domain on the air.
2). I'm concerned about copyright violation, even on the older stuff. The
one thing I absolutely cannot deal with is a lawsuit!
More thinking, we need to keep the site private,
or upload only, with
download permission only to selected individuals (who I would hope would
keep a mirror of the site in case the main site had a problem).
Ahhhhh... now THAT might get me around the copyright issues! Set it up
such that only the folks who own equipment that can use the images can get
to it...
