If you need someplace to put stuff temporarily (or even permanently, for redundancy :), I can certainly volunteer multiple gigabytes of space. I just moved the Caltech archive (now the TFF Enterprises archive) to a new server at the end of March, and I've got about 12 GB free (not that I can afford to put all of that to use as Apple II Archive storage, but I can certainly spare a gig or two - and a lot of the files in ground are probably already on the drive anyway). I'm also looking for someone to help out with the administrative stuff for the server - I'm sure you're all aware that I haven't done a good job keeping it up-to-date the last 2 years or so (there's 80 MB of stuff in the incoming directory :)... If you want to lend a hand, let me know and I'll get you set up. The archive's new (and hopefully permanent) URL is for web access, and for ftp access. -Dan Zimmerman -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Daniel M.
