Old XCell journals gone?

Looks like Xilinx has pulled the old XCell journals off the website. Someone was asking about my article on downconverters in issue #38, and I sent them there since I do not have an electronic copy of the article. Well, it is gone. Anybody out there have a pdf of that article?

Xilinx, why are the older Xcell journals gone? Surely the space they occupy isn't ridiculously large, and even though they refer to sunset devices, many of the articles are still applicable to the current devices.

with all the missing graphics, perhaps they started re-designing the archive, and either dropped the effort, or simply haven't finished it yet. I hope the latter, my first was back in #26...although, come to think of it, I'd do that circuit differently now that the parts are so much faster, and the carry logic is now tied to the LUT outputs (it was semi-independent of the LUTS in the 3000 parts). Just have to write another one... Sorry I don't have a copy of yours Ray, who'd have thought they'd take them away? I wish some of the original data books were up there too, some of the app notes in them were little gems.

Thanks all. I'm surprised Xilinx didn't chime in though.

Peter chiming in. I was on vacation until yesterday, and I was determined to do something about the sad state of the older XCell issues. (I started that magazine in 1989, much thinner, less glossy, and more technical.) I will still try to make the access to old issues more obvious and user-friendly.
