What happened to the page? Anyone knows? It is ending? I had in bookmarks some reviews of motherboards, that I wanted to read last month, about super socket 7 motherboards, and just now, page is down for few weeks. What is worse, I cannot find those reviews even on web.archive.org.
I provide link to original review of motherboard

Maybe related to this? Do you know where it was hosted?

Wow, this could be cause with high probability. Don't know, where it was stored, but date of dissaster is really about in time, when it stopped working. So with high probability, it would be the cause. I was gathering lots of information about old hardware, it is great source of information. I hope, it will be restored.

The main page is working even on Archive, but reviews of particular motherboards does not.

Page's still down. It would be pity, if it would be lost forever. Lots of retro information was there.

Is there anything, we can do to help it to restore?

Figure out who the webmaster is/was and get in touch, maybe they had an offline backup, that's about all you can do at this point.

[EDIT] I just found a cached page in Google Cache. Between archive.org's list of pages and the internal URLs you can harvest, you may be able to find other cached pages if you act quickly.

I have dug a bit deeper. Most of the pages have not been updated after roughly 2004. The review you were looking for went offline somewhere in 2000 even.
Here's the last known version

Thank you very much, evasive. Could you find also review, for this motherboard? http://www.super7.net/Super7/5ehm/5ehmrev.html

I keep forgetting to use the archive...

https://web.archive.org/web/20210128053530/ht … hm/5ehmrev.html that was easy.

Just go on archive.org and enter the links you know. That one was archived a few months ago https://web.archive.org/web/20210128053530/ht … hm/5ehmrev.html

Good call, evasive! 😀 The "web.archive.org asterisk trick" is in this case the best thing to do.
