There once was a webpage (on a site dedicated to vintage computing) with a huge set of vintage IBM ROMs (as well as roms from IBM compatible PCs) this included not only computer BIOS ROMs, but also firmware for various accessories, such as the character ROMs on MGA and CGA graphics cards. On the page there was just this huge list of different firmware dumps, and each one had a download link. If anybody remembers the website I'm describing, please let me know. I'm trying to find a few specific firmware ROM dumps, and I remember them being on this specific webpage.

Right to repair is fundamental. You own it, you're allowed to fix it.

Yes. That looks like it. Google couldn't even find it when I used related terms like "vintage IBM rom dumps". You found it so quickly. You must have it bookmarked, or else there's a better search engine you're using?

minuszerodegrees is basically THE go-to source for IBM PC stuff and has been for a while. If something important or useful about IBM computers exists it is likely on that site or linked to from that site. Definitely one to bookmark. 😀

A similar site for IBM PS/2 and Microchannel systems would be Ardent Tool of Capitalism.

Now for some blitting from the back buffer.

google has gone fubar. Use another search engine with the same search terms and you're likely to find it.

What is Google Search doing?
