Back in the early days of microcontrollers, Popular Electronics magazine and its successors published a number of construction projects, many of them containing microcontrollers such as the PIC, the 805x, and other types. They posted the code for these projects on the Gernsback BBS (Bulletin Board Systm), the dial-up modem predesessor of the internet.
I've been going back through some of my old issues, and have found a few projects that I'd like to build. However, I can't find any place on the web that contains an archive of the old BBS repository. I've searched through the Wayback Machine on the Internet Archive web site with no luck. It appears that the contents of the BBS was migrated to the Popular Electronics FTP server, but the Archive didn't capture any of the contents, and there doesn't seem to be any reference as to where those files might have migrated.
Does anyone know of a site that might have those project files archived? If so, I (and probably a bunch of other folks) would certainly love to know about it.
Thanks for any help,
DaveM
