Hi

I recently noticed that some references from Richard Stevens’ website aren’t working: https://www.kohala.com/ - many links are broken, including links to the resources that worked before.

I found some sub-directory there that appears to have copies of referenced files:

W. Richard Stevens' Home Page kohala.com

I’d be willing to chip in some $ to extend his domain + server to just work, in case anybody here knows the right people. I also wondered whether we could mirror his site on TUHS?

Can you be more specific about what isn't working?  I tried a few random links and everything seems to be fine.  Have you looked at archive.org captures of the site? https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.kohala.com/*

I’m getting an error from below for almost any link. I tried both Safari and Chrome.

Try to access his:

Stevens, W. R. 1989. "Heuristics for Disk Drive Positioning in 4.3BSD," Computing Systems, vol. 2, no. 3, pp. 251-274 (Summer).

It’s linked as:

http://www.kohala.com/diskposn.ps

Error below.
