I found another location where all the documents seem to be available: http://www.csit-sun.pub.ro/~cpop/Documentatie_SMP/Standarde_magistrale/SCSI/ > > The Wayback machine is more useful because it keeps a copy of the site > (with the attached standards) just before the paywall went up: > > https://web.archive.org/web/20080828112749/http://t10.org/drafts.htm However, the PDF file from https://web.archive.org/web/20080828112749/http://t10.org/ftp/t10/drafts/cam/cam-r12b.pdf fails to load at a 130810 byte limit. Other people have reported a similar file size issue in the past. So, should we only that the cam-r12b document can be found from http://www.t10.org/t10docs.htm (registration required)?, and tell that a copy can be found on http://www.csit-sun.pub.ro/~cpop/Documentatie_SMP/Standarde_magistrale/SCSI/? I'm trying to fix broken links in kernel documentation, which I publish on http://free-electrons.com/kerneldoc/ . I have a broken link checker for the http://free-electrons.com/ website, and it finds all the broken links on http://free-electrons.com/kerneldoc/ . That's a good thing, isn't need, but it means I have to get rid of the broken links :) Thanks again for your help, Cheers, Michael. -- Michael Opdenacker, CEO, Free Electrons Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering http://free-electrons.com
