The website's still there and you can click on the links , but you cannot download anything any more , so drives , firmware updates and even instruction manuals are no longer available .
.
For firmware updates you need to get them here ; https://www.touslesdrivers.com/index.php?v_page=12&v_code=430
If your likely to ever buy any more Minolta digital cameras , you'ld best download all the F/W updates while there still available .
For a user manual you need to go to one of the following ;
https://photo-manuals.com/manual/konica-minolta
http://www.manualsdir.com/brands/konica-minolta/13.html ( a lot on here )
https://www.manualslib.com/brand/konica-minolta/digital-camera.html
For film cameras , see here ;
https://www.butkus.org/chinon/minolta.htm
Even if you've a really old camera like the Minolta RD-175 , you can get the driver for it , as long as you've got an old P.C to run it on , Windows XP or earlier ( hey it's a 1995 DSLR !) from here ;

Don't forget , these are drivers so you can connect the camera to your P.C to transfer images if you don't have a card reader , but there here all the same ;

Another very good website was Vikenk , who is no longer there , so best thing to do if your interested in this gear is to download everything and back it up on a spare disc/DVD , as who knows how long these resources will still be available ?
