Welcome to the nextfiles.z80.org server.


This server is running on a SPARCstation 5 with 224MB ram and a 110MHz MicroSPARC processor and a 36GB IBM Ultra3 wide SCSI drive with a SCA interface.

The operating system on this box is Aurora Linux and the web server software is of course Apache.

The original plan for this server was to run OpenSTEP 4.2. But I had some problems with OpenSTEP making use of the entire 36GB harddrive. When I find out how to accomplish this I will move the entire site to that platform instead.

Please note: If you want to mirror the entire archive (19GB), then do it during 23:00 - 07:00CET!
