Bren-Ten website

[lohssanami]

I orginally posted this on the 10mm-auto site, but I'm hoping to tap into some folks that may know about the Bren-Ten here.

Many years ago, I browsed the Bren-Ten website and saw all of Ron Carrillo's research, but I never got to ordering the book. Recently, I wanted to go back to the site, but I see it has been down for awhile. I see alot of the pages on the "Wayback Machine", and I found a Bren-Ten wiki, but I wanted to ask if anyone here knows if all of that information was backed up.

I did see that @agtman was part of the old site, but I don't know how to go about contacting him.

The reason is that if nobody was trying to save all of his research and posts, I would start grabbing as much info as I can and publish it on a site. I did something similar for a couple of old whisky sites just to reference the old designs. I'm not a web designer, but I just do it for fun. For reference, I created the following site.
Ardbeg Project

I then saved all of the old pages from the Ardbeg, Glenmorangie and Laphroaig original sites and added it to the Ardbeg Project.
Ardbeg site - 2000
Laphroaig site - 1997
Glenmorangie site - 1995

I'm not trying to promote my whisky site, but just showing an example of how I'd like to save the Bren-Ten info.

If someone has already saved the info, then I won't go to that trouble. Any thoughts are welcome.

That’s the danger of everything being on line.

If someone posted a picture of me in a compromising position it would be on line forever.

Yet good reference material just disappears.

I wish you luck, it’s a worthwhile endeavor.

That shows what is important to the masses.

Compromising positions > reference material!!!!

I can't contribute anything, but thank you for trying to save the info.

There were some hobby websites that had a ton of useful information but as the owners moved on to other interests, they were lost forever. I knew one of the owners personally from being in the same circle, and he said that he lost the information in a hard drive crash, so even if he wanted to restore the website he couldn't.

Technology.. great, until it isn't. That's why I hoard old reference books and manuals. Good luck!

I've been transferring data since 2008 for my whisky site. From single drive to RAID to appliance backup to other drives, etc. Went through a couple of lost PCs and drives, but I always had multiple copies. I finally uploaded it to the cloud, but I still keep a copy on drives as well.

I have been looking for books and references as well. Since we are moving to more advanced ways of saving data, it is easier to lose everything.
