I was just thinking about trying to create an archive of all the manuals, firmware updates, drivers, and any software utilities for current synthesizers, eurorack and otherwise, since they’re actually hardware that will still be around in a few decades. I already keep copies of all this stuff for gear I own, organized by manufacturer in my personal cloud storage drive, but it seems like it would be a public benefit for the community to have something centralized and more importantly long-lived.
I was thinking about how to potentially have some kind of yearly distribution of such an archive, maybe have some type of archival blu-ray that people could pay for a physical copy of that would hopefully last 100 years, then the odds of /someone/ out there having a copy of that last esoteric firmware .bin that you need to save your corrupted firmware on your ARM-based DSP eurorack module should approach 1.
