When time allows I'll break the disk and ROM image collections down by
vendor and get new pages created for them.
Many thanks to Al for recovering this!

What was the trick to recovery this collection? Did it turn out to be stored on those
backup tapes which are pictured in the download?
The short story is that CHM has been working with Don's niece to try to preserve part
of his collection. I went down in July and picked up
all of the media I could find, but at that time I couldn't find the machine that would
have held the disk images that Don had said that he
had created. Another CHM staff member was in San Diego over Thanksgiving and went over to
the storage unit and found three more boxes
of media. One of them had the tapes. Once I was able to figure out what they were recorded
with (a 40mb Irwin floppy tape using EZTAPE)
and after I replaced the tension band, it was obvious that they were the backup tapes for
his archive machine (which turns out to have
been called Aardvark). I was able to recover the C: partition but it took a bit of messing
around with the versions of EZTAPE on C: before
I was able to recover the multi-tape backup sets from D:, which was where the images
were.

Related to this. A rescue will be necessary for the remaining contents of the storage
unit,
if someone else in the San Diego area can coordinate it. Deborah wants to close out the
lease
There are still a bunch of machines and paper there which CHM can't preserve because
of a storage
space shortage.

I'd rescue it myself, but I'm in Washington. :(

Thank you for all your effort in this! Honestly this is an area I'm
not that interested in, BUT, I really wanted to see Don's work
preserved. Years ago, he helped me with info for my IMSAI-8080,
which I always appreciated.

Outstanding! Does this mean that Al was able to finally determine
where all the disk images were? Thanks for making this available as
one big ZIP! Though out of curiosity, do you feel like you're under
a DOS attack yet?

It's my understanding that Al found the backup tapes from Don's imaging
machine. Al originally had it online at a free download service. That's
going away today (or already has), so I got it uploaded when I had a
second. I'm going to be distracted by a 3D printer soon, so I don't know
when I'll get to splitting it up. :)
I'm not worried much about the load on the pipe - it's Jay's bandwidth. :D

Wow, that was quick! Looks like it averaged about 7Mbps with peaks of
double that from watching the Task Manager graph. I don't recall ever
seeing a site respond like that unless it was one of the speed test things.
