Hi
May 4th was the 25th birthday of the oldest commit in the RTEMS repository.
Before that, there was a private repo for the research project that
produced it. We started the public repository from the last snapshot.
In those dark years of the early Internet, ftp.sourceware.org had RTEMS on
it. Cygnus even included a version on a floppy they sent out. I scanned the
letter, envelope, and put the floppy contents online (
https://ftp.rtems.org/pub/rtems/people/joel/CygnusFloppyAugust1995/). I had
to buy a USB floppy drive to read the floppy. Enjoy that flashback. :)
As we approach the 30th anniversary of the first public paper on RTEMS, I'd
love to find some really old versions. The version on that floppy is the
oldest one we have.
Is there any chance, there are easily accessible old, old, dusty versions
of ftp.sourceware.org from before 1995?
Thanks.
