Re: michael Holley?
I cannot see where the problem is. Thank you Mike Douglas for taking the initiative and mirroring the website! I appreciate it and everything else you are doing. Mike Douglas and Mike Evenson please keep the mirrored content up and running. If J's "grace of bandwidth" is reduced by having an alternate source for the material accumulated by Michael Holley so what harm is done to anyone? J there is more bandwidth for your other stuff. Be happy. Don't start fights among friends. Lets stick together. There is enough nonsense happening in this world already. The "swtpc.com" domain registration is still active but it doesn't point to any IP address. The registration expires on 2021-10-31. So J if that is your domain please update the domain registration so that it points to the material. Peace. Thank you all!

Re: michael Holley?
Sorry, I did not see your post that there was no concern of losing Michael’s SWTPC content. I simply did not want to see more great material disappear from the internet as our peers age and become unable to maintain their web presence. I’ve seen that happen over and over now. I’ll remove my mirror of Michael’s SWTPC content. You can contact Michael Evenson and let him know his assistance in preserving the content for the benefit of the hobby community is also “unauthorized.” I presently pay for 150Gb of bandwidth on deramp.com to host material for vintage computing hobbyists. I’m surprised the swtpc.org bandwidth requirements are high enough to be an issue that requires your “grace” to allow us to view its content. Mike
Re: michael Holley?
I can't get to the original domain. It certainly looks unregistered.

Re: michael Holley?
I archived the entire website in the summer of 2019, shortly before it went offline in the Fall of 2019. When it became clear that SWTPC.COM was not coming back on line, I chose to host the content at https://deramp.com/swtpc.com/ so hobbyists could still have access to the excellent material Michael pulled together. Mike Evenson also hosts a copy of the website at http://www.swtpcemu.com/mholley/. Anything you can do to preserve and host the material at swtpc.* is much appreciated! Mike
RE: michael Holley?
I need advice on a path forward then. From emails I got from Michael, Bill Dawson gave him authority over both swtpc.com and swtpc.org. Originally, Bill Dawson had swtpc.com but Michael was managing/uploading much of the content there under the mholley subdirectory (www.swtpc.com/mholley). Michael registered swtpc.org and I set that as a redirect to the subdirectory on swtpc.com. Michael stated that at some point the sites would be merged and he would be the sole site maintainer. So now I am hosting swtpc.com and swtpc.org, and ownership of the site is up in the air. Whoever owns swtpc.com doesn't have an A record, which effectively kills off swtpc.org (redirect fails) as well. All that good content (and there's a fair amount) is no longer accessible. I see herb johnson ripped the site and has a copy over at deramp, but no clue if that is a complete copy that descended from Bill or Mikes wishes. My initial plan - since I have no registrar access to swtpc.com and it doesn't point to my name servers, nothing I can do. But swtpc.org at least still, is pointing to my nameservers. I will change the apache config from a redirect to the real contents (but not sure if it should bring up the content that was swtpc.com or swtpc.org). At least a real site will be up. That being said, I am moving the sites I host free from one server to another. That project is ongoing the past few days. I would like to move swtpc.* as well, but see above. If someone has a reasonably cogent claim to the content I would hand the site (both) to them. If it's long been gone and other copies are complete and commonly used, then I could just delete it but hesitant to do so. I would like to decommission the old server but this should be resolved first. Feel free to send me advice/thoughts/claims/rants off-list. J

Anyone have good contact info for Michael Holley?
Michael Holley
I'm not sure that I'm comfortable asking this, but here goes I ran into the famous Michael Holley (www.swtpc.com) at VCF West and had a pleasant conversation. I've emailed him several times at the address on his web page, but haven't had a reply. I'm wondering if he ever hangs out on cctech and if not, if there is someone that knows of a different email and could let him know that I would like to chat with him.
