A trove of magazine articles relating to microprocessor history has vanished - has anyone got copies?

Michael Holley's SWTPC 6800/6809 documentation collection, part of the SWTPC.com site, has gone offline, and while there is a partial mirror here (thanks hoglet!) and some content survives on the Internet Archive here, there's a very nice collection of articles which is now gone.

Almost every article indexed in Michael's
Motorola M6800 Microprocessor History
seems missing, including a number of 6502 related articles. In particular, these two:

Electronics July 24, 1975 Vol. 48 No. 15 Published July 18, 1975
"Microprocessor line offers 4, 8,16 bits" Page 118. The article covers the 6501 and 6502 plus the 28 pin versions that would only address 4K of memory. It also covered future devices such as "a design that Peddle calls a pseudo 16."

EDN October 27, 1988 Vol.33 No. 22A Annual microprocessor supplement.
Donohue, James F. "The microprocessor first two decades: the way it was" Pages 18-32. "He hired me," Peddle says of Bennett, "to do the architectural support work for the product he'd already started." If Peddle has a hero, it's Bennett. "He shepherded that product [the 6800] through Motorola," Peddle says. "Motorola tried to kill it several times. Without Bennett, the 6800 would not have happened, and a lot of the industry would not have happened, either."

Ah, it seems the domain expired. Fortunately, the Internet Archive has captured the content:

Thanks. But is it possible to find the whole issue of the Electronics and EDN magazine instead of only 1 single page ?

Sometimes issues are scanned and can be found online, sometimes not. If you seek and fail to find, wait a year or two and seek again.
