Searching many missing schematics and images from old Jacques Laporte site (including Francois Roulet copy), my main intention is to recreate his site completely.
Some key pages:
http://home.citycable.ch/pierrefleur/Jac...design.htm
http://home.citycable.ch/pierrefleur/Jac...Timing.htm
...
The archive.org as well do not contain these schematics for any date. Mainly, 2nd level site pages missing all images. Since Jacques Laporte license allowed non-commercial personal copy and his wife allowed republishing his work (see main page of Francois Roulet copy and one of his forum post), I't should be no problem to contact Francois Roulet with missing images.
On this forum, some members even posted personal archives link in the past, unfortunately, all links are unavailable now. I hope someone still have full copy of his site or even only pages with missing images.
Thanks to all very much in advance for any help in this initiative.

Thank you Dave.
Unfortunately several files and at least one folder are/is missing.
ex.: the "Hardware_2" folder referenced in "[root]/HP35 Hardware basic design.htm" is missing.

Apparently I was wrong.
Hi,
it seems that I have at least some of the missing parts. How can I send you a zip-file with what I have?
Best regards

Why is the website from Jacques Laporte no longer online? What is happened?
Thank you all very much for respond.
It would be certainly a pity not to recreate fully this remarkable work and effort...
Since later archive problems, there is two possible ways.
One would be if some one have older archive, with a date a bit older than last revision date page of interest (the most key pages are published in 2007 and 2010). The second if someone have specific problematic pages saved with all required images.
Quite a few folders with images missing, which I may list here as well with the page URLs, if that may be more helpful.
Something I didn't saw, because was missing from the web archive is his (working) HP-67 java emulator.
It would be great to continue his work, too.
I would love to see the gaps filled in. The classic upgrade kit would not have been possible without his work!
I have a printout of the classic hardware discription. I have scanned it a while back. I can send it in when I have access to it. Alternatively Tony (teenix) might be quicker than me. I sent the pdf to him a while ago.
Cheers,
Harald
Hello everybody,
Does somebody knows his family ?
I know that it's a long time ago, but what happened to his computer and maybe backups ?

Hi Harald,
I looked through all my PDF files and came across the one I think you mean.
I have posted it on my web site
http://www.teenix.org/HP35display.pdf
It is about 21meg
cheers

Thanks Tony, that's the one!
So many useful (and historically important) web sites are being lost as they disappear off the web. I would like to try to protect against this as much as possible.
I have decided to offer to host any old HP calculator web sites that are no longer online. I have started with the two that were already mentioned in this thread.
First, hp42s.com. I now have this at the following address. It's almost entirely complete, with just a few images missing. I grabbed what I could from archive.org, and made a few minor corrections to fix some of the broken links:
https://archived.hpcalc.org/hp42s/
Next, jacques-laporte.org. Posted above is an archive that contains most of the site, but as all of you know it's incomplete. I can't help with the missing emulators, but today I spent a significant amount of time trying to recreate the forum. I was able to recover over half of the posts. If anyone has any of the ones that I am still missing, please send them to me so I can correct the archive. I also fixed a few other broken links throughout the site, with the result here:
https://archived.hpcalc.org/laporte/
If anyone has any more sites they would like to send me to bring back online, it would be greatly appreciated.

Did you extract some of the missing picture from the pdf Tony put on his website?
Very generous and thoughtful of you Eric, thanks both for offering to host these vanishing sites and the detective work to recreate them! Well done!
