 It has fallen between the cracks, sorry.

 Here's my proposal about the change we discussed before.  It refers to 
HP's mirror of the original archive as well as another mirror run by 
volunteers that happens to include a couple of extra files missing from 
the former for some reason.  Hopefully either of these will stay online 
for the foreseeable future.

 Rather than some Digital Unix specific details these two archives provide 
original TURBOchannel documentation supplied by DEC as a part of their 
1990s' TriAdd initiative.  Included are hardware- and software-level 
TURBOchannel specifications suitable for use by hardware designers and 
firmware and OS developers respectively, as well as a number of additional 
related documents.  While not strictly related, there's Access.Bus 
documentation too.

 Then the linux-mips.org Wiki page documents Linux driver support (or the 
lack of) for many TURBOchannel option cards -- while the page is specific 
to the DECstation, the drivers are generic enough to work with any Linux 
platform supporting TURBOchannel -- apart from the MIPS-based DECstation, 
there are Alpha- and VAX-based TURBOchannel systems in existence we may 
eventually add support for in Linux one day.  I still do hope to add some 
more drivers to this page sometime too. :)

 Thanks again for working on this.
