   Interesting, I've found some new (old) sites there already. By only   
   indexing websites by their names in the hardware and software   
   categories, it does make it tricky to find anything specific though.

   Perhaps you could upload them at www.archive.org, then provide links   
   to there on your Wiki. They automatically do OCR on documents to turn   
   them into PDFs which can be searched within. You might have to upload   
   them in just the right way for that to work though.
