There are numerous mirrors of the old Simtel archive. And I
personally know of a few sites that have mirrored some of the old

broadcast the URLs here because they don't need the huge bandwidth
bill, but you can find them. Often by just googling the filename
of various old MS-DOS zipfiles that you remember and/or have.
Private queries about the big sites I have found that mirror
'classic' DOS era CDROMs are welcomed.
And maybe it's time for a 'CDROM exchange' type of thing. Not for
warez purposes, just to back up the old shareware/freeware
collections that many of us have a number of. It makes more sense
to ship around CDs than it does for everyone to download
everything individually.
I'm getting rid of several large boxes of old
MS-DOS & WIN
software, OSs, apps, languages, utilities, games, etc.
Also boxes of hardware such as PC MoBos, cards, keyboards,
external print buffers, converters, <=9600bd modems etc.
I realize without a detailed list this is rather vague, but I'd
like to know if there's any interest in this sort of stuff to
make it worth while actually making that list.
If not here, maybe someone knows of another list where someone
may be interested?
TIA,

You know it takes a good bit of digging to find basic 8088
software, since windows has come out
since "link,lib,masm" are no longer around. So get your older
aps now while you can.
