Hi!

I may be missing something, and if so please help me! 😀

I've been trying to reach retroarchive:
http://www.retroarchive.org/garbo/pc/net/index.html
http://www.retroarchive.org/dos/docs/index.html

But the last few weeks I've been unable to reach the website, and I still can't. The archived landing page on the Wayback machine (https://web.archive.org/web/20251005074035/ht … troarchive.org/) indicates that a Gene Buckle ran the site up until recently.

Does anyone know what happened?

I know that a subset of the site is available through http://cpmarchives.classiccmp.org/cpm/mirrors … .org/index.html and of course the Wayback machine. I was just hoping that maybe someone archived the entire site? Or knows Gene and can help him out restoring the website? Maybe it is down for extended maintenance?

Those two url's work here. Maybe check your dns, vpn or firewall?

Sigh... Turns out that my ISP's DNS has problems with this particular site, but e.g. 8.8.8.8 resolves it perfectly fine. I haven't encountered that before. Thanks for helping out. 😀
