(TPall) Web archive for 'legacy' products?

[ross@math.hawaii.edu (David Ross)]

The IBM web site expunges information about 'legacy' products with
alarming speed.  While they do keep info online about older Thinkpads,
information about older options seems to disappear as soon as the option
is superceded.  Does anyone know other sites with this kind of legacy
information?  (For example, their 4x pcmcia cdrom was replaced a couple of
months ago by an 8/20x cav model.  I've just been offered the former,
and can't find any specs on it. Even the faxback doc number for the 4x which
appears in the options book that came with my TP560 just returns the
spec sheet for the newer drive. I've run into this on other products as
well.)
