"http://amiga.resource.cx" Gets on DOWN.....

[Kin-Hell]

It had to happen didn't it.

Anybody got any bright ideas before we start to panic  :-?

 :crazy:  :crazy:  my life will have no meaning without these Amiga hardware sites  :crazy:  :crazy:

Think I have the email adress to the owner of amiga resource, my A3000 use to belong to him before I bought it from him on Ebay.

[Cyberus]

Ah man! BOTH those sites are so cool...

Surely all that needs to happen is that the webmasters need to remove the offending drivers and then they can put the sites back up...?

Or has someone really had a sense of humour failing over the whole thing, and are trying to sue a non-profit site for a piece of 20-year-old software or something?

I would'nt have put it exactly this way, but indeed, if this site goes down, then I'm in BIG trouble.
It's one of the MAIN Amiga ressources AFAIC, in the same fields as A.org !
If really it stops, wich I don't want to believe, we need to secure what's already done, and host it somewhere, heck, I have no time at all, but for such an important thing I'd be glad to help.

Hi all,

I've just read here that we are down. And sure enough we are. But it's not copyright issues, just a server crash. Probably the hard disk has died, we'll check it tomorrow (monday).

[odin]

You have backups, don't you? :nervous:

[Lex]

I have.

[_ThEcRoW]

Good.

Is Michael Rubisch still involved in the site?

[Lex]

Yes, he still sends images and manuals whenever he comes across Amiga stuff we miss from the database. In fact I have more than a hundred (!) scans just from him waiting to be added to the site. I'm trying to keep up with him as time allows, but he's always a year before us. He also scanned many manuals for us which are waiting to be OCRed. He's a great source and helping hand of us.

[CD32Freak]

I always wondered how Michael Rubisch made those sharp close-up pictures of Amiga hardware. If Lex or anybody else know the answer, please enlighten me :-)

You mean a similar quality as THIS Ariadne networkcard  :-?

Heck Alex, kind of Ironic, that only days after Amiga-Hardware went down for Copyright infringements, your site bites the dust as well.

Maybe the hard drive rolled over & Died in sympathy, knowing what was going on elswhere!

Almost "Twilight-Zone" crap eh!

{bleep}...can I say that or is someone gunno Bust my Ass for copywright issues! :sealed:
