Hi,
Does anyone know where I can find the Altair Peripheral Emulator?
Links I have found so far are all dead:

I have the archive from Frank but I haven?t put it up yet. I was waiting for a sub-site
on classiccmp.
If you need it quicker, the Wayback Machine may have it.

Speaking of Altair, I just scanned a bunch of Processor Technology
manuals. These may already be online in some version, but it's likely
the schematics and assembly diagrams are better quality in this version:
https://docs.telegraphics.com.au/ProcessorTechnology/
There is probably more related material to come.

Help me out here.. I don't find any manuals, just .tif images of cover
pages.

The hint is the size, I suspect.? You need a multi page TIF viewer, or
download the entire file and find a TIF to PDF converter and run it thru
there.
The first tif file converted to a 100 page PDF, for instance.
thanks

Sorry didn't say how I converted.? I have the Imagemagic package
including "convert" loaded on several linux boxes.? Convert xxxx.tif?
xxxx.pdf does the conversion, though it seemed to take a while.
The first file went from 9.7mb to 27mb pdf.
thanks

My fault for being hopelessly backlogged. I will have a website spot ready for the content
by tomorrow morning.
How about http://ape.classiccmp.org ? FreeBSD/Apache/MySQL/PHP ok?

This one has the text for APE intact (web
page text), and the links to
the Zips were scraped
https://web.archive.org/web/20150623115257/http://home.comcast.net:80/~forb…
10/20/2015
Scraping it as I type this.? Some of the other dates which show the web
page don't have the zips successfully scraped.? Thought it would be
useful to anyone interested to know which walnut shell the pea was under.
Thanks
