This is actually my first encounter with the AMD K6 CPUs in general. I was planning on acquiring one for an Epox SS7 board I have in storage but never got around to it.

Wait...how old are you? K6-2 were everywhere from 98 to 2003 at least

Odd, link works for me.

For me it goes straight to this page:
https://classic.technology/

EDIT: Weird, I tried it four times and it went to their main page. Now, the link takes me to the pdf as expected.

EDIT2: And now its bake to sending me to their main page again. Wut? 🤣

same. to be fair I dont expect much from a website using .technology domain 😀

It's weird.
Just to verify, I opened another browser, pasted the link and it opened the pdf immediately.
I got no idea why it works for me, yet fails for you and others.
This, https://classic.technology/tape-shuttle-family/ ,is the link to the webpage that links to the pdf.
And I've added the file to this comment, hope that's ok.

The weird thing is not that it fails, its that its inconsistent. It failed first time, but after Ozzuneoj mentioned it working after multiple persistent tries I tried again and it _did_ work yesterday. I just checked again now and it doesnt work again 😀 I can only guess its one of those modern stack kubernetes/docker "omg so scalable" cloud deployments where no one knows how anything works anymore because of all the layers between simple www server and the client. Caches, balancers, cdn setup, routing, workers, microservices, the list goes on and on.

I'm in my 30s, I grew up in a small town and pretty much all the computers I encountered/owned in that period were Intel.
