Hi!
I realy need help. I'm looking for one file from old Acer's FTP. It's a flash tool for my Acer Note 950cx also known as Acrobat Univers.
The file is in here:
ftp://ftp.support.acer-euro.com/notebook/note … /bios/flash.zip
Without it I can't flash the latest BIOS R1.6

Deksor should have a full backup of this FTP server.

Also, Deksor have shared it on https://archive.org/details/ftp.support.acer- … uro.com.zip.001, but there is only torrent download (with no seeders) and no file list.

There are two seeds now (both being archive.org, who seed everything they link to).

I have a habit of downloading every archived OEM ftp site I become aware of . Can never be too prepared 😀

Constantly being worked on. Feel free to message me with any corrections or details of cards you would like me to research and add.

Yeah it's a pretty large archive (400+GB), and sending stuff to archive.org is so slow and buggy I have to complete it by small bits. I've sent something like 33% to archive.org

I can find your file though. Let me search ^^

I see the struggle! Do you know if/when all the files are uploaded, the contents will be shown/searchable? The best would be if individual files could be downloaded.

It means a lot for me and others who like old machines 😀

Will be great 😁 Thank you.

Yeah I know ... I'm not really experienced with archive.org. I was told that this was a "good way" to upload large files, but I'm not really sure ...

Here you go 😀

There are other useful files in there, but I can't send them here because archiving the whole directory is too large for vogons.

Unfortunately I am blocked from sending PMs since my account is new. Crappy rule. Hope someone can ping him for me, otherwise chances are low to get my device running.

Thank you in advance!

Sorry Deksor, can I ask you once again for help by dumping me the whole folder "ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/travelmate_c200/"?
It contains the drivers and other utilities listed here: http://web.archive.org/web/20090426215935/htt … ok/tm_c200.html

Thank you in advance!

Thank you very much!

I cloned the files to archive.org for others:
https://archive.org/details/acer-travelmate-c200-drivers

What is your progress with providing your FTP backup to archive.org?
I know uploading there is slow as hell and aborts randomly, but I worked around this issue by creating an 1 MB ZIP to just create the page and afterwards edit it and upload in 500MB parts. If one upload fails, you at least don't need to start over and over again.

Well this is pretty much what I've been doing, but we're talking about 420GB worth of data ...
It crashes every so often, so I got bored and forgot about it. I've uploaded 64 files out of 104, so I'm about 2/3 through.

Logged in to request something. I recently got Acer Extensa 355 and I'm restoring it to full working order, HDD was shot and CMOS battery dead. Did dig up as much as I could to find drivers/restore CD for it, but only things I found for it was audio and video driver from one Slovakian site. So would basically need everything for it, including the BIOS, if you happen to have those. Thanks in advance!

Hi, may I also ask you for some drivers? I recently reinstalled my TravelMate 212TX and can't seem to find drivers anywhere. I would like all the files from this page.
