Unfortunately the Oberheim OB-Mx Preservation Page looks like it has
been trampled by an overzealous Georgia Tech website migration. The
links to Mark Glinsky's pages and OB-Mx schematics still work, but the
links to the ROM images and source files hosted by gatech.edu do not.
I emailed Aaron soon after the website stopped working and did not
receive a reply... the site is still broken. To my knowledge the
Wayback Machine doesn't have a copy of the site prior to its
migration.

I have a text version of the calibration instructions based off of the
originals provided by Tom Virostek. Plus I did archive the files
available on the old site (including the source code) so the
information is not gone for good. Does anyone know of a good place
where we can re-host this stuff? Finding broken links, missing files,
and no record of the Oberheim OB-Mx Preservation Page on the Wayback
Machine was a shock.
