Similarly, this historical information is still available in the
Internet Archives:
https://web.archive.org/web/20080928071628/http://www.andante.org:80/scsi.html

There are thousands of outdated URLs in the source and documentation which
are still useful today, in particular the references to datasheets. I
consider these
outdated links as still valuable source information, and find removing
them a loss.

My 2 cents.

Regards,

Phil.
