When i first saw this post, first thing i thought was add it to archive.org/mirror it. Glad you have something in the works. I've done a few ftp backups myself. Always need this kinda data in two locations.

Sorry about the personal situation this has caused you (and so many others). Can you buy gold, GBP or somthing else to retain wealth? Terrible news in general really.

I do not only make simple site mirrors
but I try to group and sort information

no currency can be bought now.
in principle, this is already a technical default of the economy.

i can buy gold bullion, but there is a risk that it will be taken away.
may be prohibited from exporting it abroad.
this has already happened in the history of the country.

the situation is very sad
it hurts me very much that our neighbors - Ukrainians, among whom are many of my friends, are now suffering because of a madman in the Kremlin.

I am very sorry to hear about the predicament of people living in Russia, trying to make a living and exist with the war. Many people like you had friends in Ukraine too.

Recently I was trying to do a transaction with a Russian company to buy some equipment related to the vintage Russian Space Agency and the Sputnik-1 satellite. We had to cancel the transaction because the Russian seller said that most electronic apparatus, whatever it was, was being seized at the border. It was bad for the seller because I think the transaction would have helped him a lot. In the end I was able to get most of what I required from Ukraine.

I am a very big fan of the early Russian efforts in Space technology and the amazing design work that Russian scientists did in this field.

I built a working replica of the Sputnik-1 transmitter. The relays it used in its Manipulator are quite astonishing:

 
As I think you already know, Software and documentation archive is constantly evolving and now it has received the functionality of a network block API for direct access from retro platforms.

At the moment, network API support is implemented in the AZ* series controllers
this will allow you to use any disks from the archive via network access directly on the retro platform itself

Example - loading RT11 from a network drive:

This network API can be supported on any retro platform and for this purpose an open API has been implemented, which will allow you to use disk images from the archive directly.

To discuss the network API, a topic has been created in the channel - https://t.me/pdp11_az/21750

The network API is open to all platforms, subject to licensing rules and terms of use.

The concept of network drives:
1. Technically, this is a block interface to any file located in a namespace.
2. Currently 2 namespaces are supported N:\ and R:\
3. Space N: - network drive from the archive - i.e. any image from https://mirrors.pdp-11.ru/
this path is considered the root
accordingly, to mount the OVERKIL.IMG disk
located at the path
https://mirrors.pdp-11.ru/_bk0010-11-11m/soft/SuperMax_collection/IMG/OVERKIL.IMG

you need to specify the following file name
N:/_bk0010-11-11m/soft/SuperMax_collection/IMG/OVERKIL.IMG

see the current version of the documentation on the network API here
