Architecture: macppc
Machine: macppc
>Description:
        Various macppc documents mention System Disk Utility download from 
Apple as
        
ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/macosxserver/utilities/SystemDisk2.3.1.smi.bin
        but recently? Apple pruned the FTP site.

        The current valid URL will be

        
http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/Mac_OS_X/System_Disk_Utility.smi.bin

        which is the newer System Disk Utility, version 2.6.2.
        Submitter confirmed that it did run on PowerMac 8500/MacOS 9.1 .

        (Apple could discontinue the site any time; how should we prepare for 
that?)

>How-To-Repeat:
        wget 
ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/macosxserver/utilities/SystemDisk2.3.1.smi.bin
>Fix:
        wget 
http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/Mac_OS_X/System_Disk_Utility.smi.bin

        Various documents, such as Install.{ps,html,txt},
        http://www.netbsd.org/ports/macppc/SystemDisk-tutorial/index.html ,
        http://www.netbsd.org/ports/macppc/SystemDisk-tutorial/of105patch.html 
        should be updated to point to the new URL.
