Very nice! Thank you for doing this!

It's a non-event. While Norton reports it, it's not even capable of
explaining what it is - all you get is:
"The threat writeup you were searching for was not found. Visit the
Symantec Threat Explorer to search for Threat information. "
Note that the file it's complaining about is:
http://www.retroarchive.org/hardware/heathkit/H19H89.CNV
Which of COURSE is an obvious danger to any Windows user. *rolls eyes*

You've probably got a bigger pipe than mine. I only have pair of 100mb
connections.

Isn't
http://www.gaby.de/cpm/index.html
more like the official unofficial web site ?
AFAIR Retroarchive is only snapshoot of the old site,
while the pages at gaby.de are still maintained (and
extended).

I'm pleased to announce that, very soon, I'll be taking over the
retroarchive.org web site from Gene Buckle. The site includes
around 600 megs of files, primarily for CP/M, but increasingly
for other OS's and platforms as well.
In addition, I'm going to place the files on the regional hub so
that they can be retrieved via UUCP...to make it easier to get
them directly onto vintage machines without having to use
conversion software.
To do this, however, I may need to use another common archive
format. My concern is that alot of vintage machines may not be
able to handle zip files. Suggestions for a format?
Thanks!

Oh I never took it that way. I was just explaining _how_ the outdated
mirror came into existence. :)

The differences between the Bondwell models 12 and 14 seem to be 128KB
RAM in the 14 (as opposed to 64KB in the 12) and double-sided drives in
the 14 (versus single-sided in the 12). You could try the Bondwell 14
disk images on your Retroarchive site. :-)

Retroarchive.org. I'm one of the maintainers of Retroarchive - if you can
ZIP up the images and email them to me, I'll get them uploaded ASAP.
Later.

I wasn't able to find the Gem files on gaby however. I hope you intend on
keeping them on the retroactive site. The Atari subdirectory is empty. Was
it your intention to fill it as you have with the Heath one ?
I've asked this before, but how close is the Commodore GEOS to the Gem
one ? The desktop at least is virtually identical. Does it have an underlying
system greatly different from TOS and AES(?) ?

Thanks James. The site only really needs a maintainer. Jay West has been
kind enough to host the site for the past few years and unless there is
some difficulty with that, I don't expect that to change. (Thanks Jay!)
