That link got corrupted by commit b7223d9bdec. It used to be
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.torque.net/scsi/SCSI-2.4-HOWTO
which does actually work.

FWIW, I'm not in favour of replacing any links with archive.org links 
unless no better source can be found. I am in favour of citations in the 
form of a link with retrieval date. In this context the date can often be 
inferred from commit or release dates.

Therefore, a second commit, 0ea6e611221, could also be reverted with 
regards to this link (if you're planning to edit it). Just my $0.02.
