Judging by the bibliography reference it's a technical report from UCB, and
searching for the T7 identifier in the UCB library reveals that it's a M.Sc
thesis only available in physical form:

https://search.library.berkeley.edu/permalink/01UCS_BER/iqob43/alma991082339239706532

The link might not be useful to many, but it may save a few minutes of googling
from other readers.

Linking to that seems like a good idea.

If a link stops working, and no replacement is available, it's probably better
to link to the archive.org entry instead.
