[Test-Equipment] URGENT: FTP Site disaster - need your help!

[Bruce Lane]

Fellow techies,

	I'm sorry to report that disaster has struck the Blue Feather FTP archive. Said disaster was caused by a RAID controller failure, resulting in a complete loss of archive data, both public and private.

	I've replaced the bad controller, of course, but unfortunately the problem hit during a time when I was in transition from one backup system to another.

	In short: I have no recent backup.

	I would, therefore, like to appeal to those who have downloaded and stored files from my archive, particularly Tektronix and HP software and firmware, to help me recover by sending me files, collections of files on CDs, whatever. I will reimburse for postage if necessary. CD's can be mailed to:

Bruce Lane
Blue Feather Technologies
PO Box 5327
Kent, WA  98064-5327

	Fair warning: This is not going to be easy to recover from, and it is going to take at least a couple of months to get anywhere close to where I was before. Until then, the archive will be inaccessible from the Internet.

	Please help as time allows.

	Thanks much.
