Amiga-Hardware.com Taken Down
« on: December 15, 2005, 04:15:59 AM »
Amiga-Hardware.com, one of the best sources of information on hardware for out beloved platform has been taken offline. A simple text message reading, "Due to complaints the site is offline. It "may" return at some point, but with reduced contents." is all that remains in its place.

A4000D, A3640 OC-36.3MHz, custom tower, Mediator A4000D. Diamond Banshee 16M, Indivision AGA 4000, GVP HC+8.

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

 - Someone please design SOME kind of DIY accelerator for the A4000. :D -

The really weird part is I think I was trying to access it while it was being taken offline. When I first got there, I had the frames in place, but the pages for the frames were not found... I refreshed, then I got that message.

I'm curious as to what sort of complaints could have caused this. I'm really rather upset, I rely pretty heavilly on A-H.

I am upset to see it taken down as well. I have emailed the webmaster a couple times over the years to let him know how fond I am of the site. I also inquired about purchasing an offline copy of the site less manuals and drivers. He indicated it might be possible.  Lets hope it gets resolved soon.

Here there is a working mirror:

http://web.archive.org/web/20040621203445/http://www.amiga-hardware.com/

And are there anyone here with spare time to download site's contents because this was all time referance for Amiga Stuff. And its uniqe content must be held i think.

I am not sure if there is a tool available for Amiga that would do something like that.
For XP, you could try

Webcopier

I did notice now and then that the pictures on The Big Book were replaced by an add of "would you buy a used car from this man ?" and then a picture of somebody who looked like David Hasslehof  :lol: Maybe some idiots tried to hack the Book and Ian wants to clean up everything to prevent this to happen again ??  :-?
I also love this Book and have helped Ian several times by sending up detailed pictures of my cards (no, this time pictures without my girlfriend on the background) ...

I'm using websphinx to get the site down. Hopefully the webarchive won't fail me. Sometimes it's really difficult to get through.
