All the MTS archive sites appear to have gone.

Can MTS still be downloaded?

?

Theres files at:

and:

(but knowing nothing at all about MTS until about two hours ago I have no idea
if any of these are usable) which I found from the links under "Distribution" at



in the sentence "Today, complete materials from the six full and
the ten partial MTS distributions as well as from two redistributions
created between 1968 and 1988 are available from the Bitsavers
Software archive[122][123] and from the University of Michigan's
Deep Blue digital archive.[124][125]"

The Wayback Machine has the archive site:

Dennis,

But not a copy of D6.0A.ZIP which contains the actual distribution.

Bitsavers and deepblue have all the tape distributions, but not D6.0A (which is the one that is ready to rock'n'roll under Hercules).

I took the D6.0A media, configuration, and PDF of an old MTS Q&A page and put them up to as a stopgap. We'll find out if my ISP meant it when they said "There are no set limits on the disk space or data transfer (bandwidth) that we provide in our hosting plans."


 

Ha. Even better: the PDF had a link in it pointing to D6.0A.ZIP in google.drive.

I put it to the files section of this group; it chews up a bit of our 1GB allocation, but I think it's important enough to warrant the dent in the DASD budget.

I can remove it quickly if there are any objections to it being there.

I did not put it up; I suspect that members can't upload files (Dave Wade? yes/no?).

Can someone with the appropriate permissions copy it up (possibly with the PDF I made?)

I found a copy on the Internet Archive's Wayback machine, but I have no idea whether it's the "current" one or not. I simply presume it is. It's "d6.0A". Is that the current version?

Click on FEB 9 (the last snapshot they made), takes you to:

Which displays the archived web page.

From there, clicking the download link takes you to:

Where a non-clickable Google Drive download link (that must be manually copied and pasted into your browser) is presented.

Using THAT URL:

will eventually get you to the Google Drive web page where you can then FINALLY download the actual distribution from.

It's a 79.1MB download, and *appears* to be the current d6.0a distribution, but not being that "up" on MTS, I can't say for sure. Only someone from the MTS group who is familiar with MTS distributions will be able to tell for sure.

Hope that helps!

Cool! Thanks.

I've got my mitts involved in several different things at the moment (as usual) so it might be a while yet before I can get around to giving it a try. But rest assured I will!

It was a GOogle Sites site and Google closed down that service.
