The t10.org website containing SCSI-2 draft specifications now

This replaces the now broken link with another public resource
where the specifications can be found.
Just because T10 implemented a pay wall for standards, doesn't mean
they're not still the definitive source.

Adding a note about where you can get free versions is a useful
service, please do, but we have to keep the official links.  To be
honest the Duisberg site doesn't seem useful because it only has the
CAM standard.

Understood. I found another location where all the documents seem to be available:
http://www.csit-sun.pub.ro/~cpop/Documentatie_SMP/Standarde_magistrale/SCSI/

The Wayback machine is more useful because it keeps a copy of the site
(with the attached standards) just before the paywall went up:

https://web.archive.org/web/20080828112749/http://t10.org/drafts.htm

However, the PDF file from https://web.archive.org/web/20080828112749/http://t10.org/ftp/t10/drafts/cam/cam-r12b.pdf fails to load at a 130810 byte limit. Other people have reported a similar file size issue in the past.

So, should we only that the cam-r12b document can be found from http://www.t10.org/t10docs.htm (registration required)?, and tell that a copy can be found on http://www.csit-sun.pub.ro/~cpop/Documentatie_SMP/Standarde_magistrale/SCSI/?

I'm trying to fix broken links in kernel documentation, which I publish on http://free-electrons.com/kerneldoc/ . I have a broken link checker for the http://free-electrons.com/ website, and it finds all the broken links on http://free-electrons.com/kerneldoc/ . That's a good thing, isn't need, but it means I have to get rid of the broken links :)

Thanks again for your help,

Cheers,

Michael.
