Technology wise, there is an inherent limitation on the number or
writes with the SSD design.
While it is not as simple to calculate as a mechanical system, it does
have a limitation.
I don't know the exact number with the current technology, earlier
products had write life times in the tens and

Also, I discovered recently that there is a maximum number of hours
measured in years on SSDs and systems will start throwing SMART
errors when that is exceeded. I have a few doing that now on systems
with minimal writes but lots of hours.

I removed the PCB off the CDROM drive and on closer inspection noticed a
region of substantial corrosion of solder joints on the component side.
About 70% of the PCB had solder joints that were nice and shiny like brand
new. The remaining section near the front of the drive was quite badly
I cannot see where the problem is.

Thank you Jason for unblocking us down under. :-)

Sorry, I did not see your post that there was no concern of losing Michael’s
SWTPC content. I simply did not want to see more great material disappear from
the internet as our peers age and become unable to maintain their web presence.
I’ve seen that happen over and over now.

Al, is Bitsavers blocking some HTTP access from Australia?

What happened to www.bitsavers.org?
It has been down for at least the past 24 hours.
I can still ping the website, but http requests time out.
The bitsaver domain name here in Australia resolves to 208.77.18.144.

I have been working on a project for some time to connect a IBM3270
compatible Alfaskop terminal with its IBM 3274 compatible cluster
controller to the Hercules mainframe emulator.
Yesterday I eventually succeeded. I was able to login to TSO on my Hercules
system that ran MVS 3.8j.
