Wim, do you think Oracle can put these critical manuals back up
somewhere
permanently?
The fact that developers have to go to the web archive to get what was
a perfectly working public copy is a bit rediculous. :-)
Given that it's coming up to Christmas which is the season of goodwill
and miracles, I might as well also ask if there's any chance of
resurrecting the old playground.sun.com server and/or copies of the
documentation that used to be hosted there?
The information was, and in many ways still is, extremely useful for
people like me working on virtualising old Sun SPARC hardware.
Hi Mark, I'm one of Wim's gang; we're putting together the docs now, and
we'll take a look at what we had up on playground at the time of its
demise. Once the docs are rehosted, we'll send a pointer out, take a
look and if there is anything missing that you think would be valuable,
just let us know. Merry Christmas ;-)
Hi John,
Thank you so much, this is absolutely brilliant news!
Are you now the designated contact for documentation requests? Besides
what was on playground.sun.com there are other things that would be
really helpful, e.g. in the QEMU sources there are references to the
sun4u APB/PCI specifications which would be helpful, but I don't think
were previously ever released outside of NDA?
Many thanks,
Mark.
