    Is there an easy way to mirror it?

      I suppose it can be crawled like any other website, since it's a collection of links - manx-docs doesn't host any of the manuals.

      As such it can be bitten by the usual link rot problem, but at least it has multiple links for each entry, which should minimize that. Where no digitized copies are known to exist, the entry is listed without links - but that's still a good thing to have, for those with the means to do something about it.

    Technically, nothing. Apple still makes them. And they sell quite well.

    Who manages the website and how can someone contribute to it?

    It could have an HDMI or DisplayPort connector though.

    You’ll need the right font for that. I don’t think terminals will support most of those (VTE will probably support the new 2x4 mosaics)

    Very good, but a little bit incomplete. Would be worthwhile to include a bit more from the Bitsavers collection (and the OCR’ed versions on the Internet Archive.

    The best part is that for any interesting application, we’d be writing our own little RTOS from scratch. Nothing quite beats that feeling.

      This. So much this.

    I wonder if there is one like these that can do SSH as well.
