Not really, since they don't make anything they've archived available.

On the PC side I am still looking for a copy of Halo Desktop Imager (lost my
original disks but have the manual and serial). I have yet to see this on
ebay, and none of the groups you would think would have it do. This was a
heavily advertised app (award winning also I believe) from the Win 3.1 era
that I am sure many people heard about it. While most people have a digital
copy of old Adobe, Microsoft, Borland, etc software, I find quite a few
utils and lesser known apps have faded into oblivion and we are talking 90's
era software.
