I have found really useful information on old 486 motherboards from this site before, but it seems to be dead now 😢

Does anyone know if this is just temporary or is the site not coming back? Oh well, at least it can still be accessed via the Wayback Machine...

Finally someone noticed. It died a couple months ago, I think. Had to use internet archive for info on a few of my old 486 boards.

Yea, I noticed too. I can still get some overview pages up but none of the jumper settings.

Hopefully it's just a temporary move/disconnection of the server, or end of service provision. If the person hasn't moved on, then hopefully they will reconnect.

I was going to say something about it. Sad thing is a lot of the graphics are now NOT linked on Wayback Machine. Was hoping someone perhaps mirrored it somewhere other than Wayback Machine???

i did a mirror like 3 years ago, i don't know if it's works better than the archive mirror, but you can check.

There's no A record for motherboards.mbarron.net, so probably it's just GONE gone instead of just a temporary outage.

Thankfully there's still stason.org...
