First up is the addition of Crescent Software's entire product line. The
company produced a number of good library suites in the late 80s and early
90's. Note these are all DOS products - the Windows product line was sold
in the early 90's.
http://annex.retroarchive.org/crescent/index.html
When the documentation arrives, I'll be paying the IA to get it all
scanned. It's a lot cheaper than me buying a Scribe scanner or building a
DIY version. :)
Next up is a HUGE CD-ROM and FTP site archive I've been working on.
http://www.retroarchive.org/cdrom/index.html
What I've done here is pull CD-ROMs from the Internet Archive and make
them easily browseable. I've also extracted the contents of each of the
zip, etc. files and created index files for those as well. The goal was
to make the material more easily accessible for both us meat bags and
search spider bots.
This is going to be a long term project that will end when I've either
exhausted the available CD-ROMs on the IA, or I die, whichever comes
first. ;)
There's a number of holes in the sets that are on the IA - if you've got a
disc that would fill a hole, please consider making an ISO of the disc and
upload that along with a photo of the disc to the IA and then let me know
so I can get it processed.
I'm also looking to acquire a manual set for QuickBASIC 4.5 and the
Microsoft Professional Development System 7.1. If you have either one,
please contact me!
Thanks!

Even a full list of what CDs Jason has there w/o indexing would be helpful.
Trying to figure out what is there is a nightmare.
For a while, I had about 400gb of cd images on bitsavers until we ran out of disk space.
I probably have a few hundred more gb I've read since then. I've slowly been
trying to
find a full set of physical disks from Walnut Creek for CHM's archive.

I'm going for all the low-hanging fruit first - sets of CDs from the likes

huge job though. :) I've got a 5TB NAS that I'm storing these on, so I'm
in no danger of running out of space. :)

Gee, I didn't know you collected old CD archives.
I've got some WC CDs here:
"Internet USENET source code." CDs 1,2,3
C/C++ Users Group Library August 1997
"Toolkit for Linus"-2 CD set.
-------------------
Developer Source Vols. 4-10 (1995-1998); archives of source code
published in magazine form, as well as a few books. Put out by I-Mode,
Inc. Some of the later ones are still in shrink wrap--I just got too
overloaded with the information. I may have volumes 1-3, but I'm not sure.
Let me know and I'll some or all of them in your book box (they qualify
as "media mail", right?
I probably have a ton of other goodies, since I just started tossing CDs
in a big box.

What's Microsoft's policy on old MSDN CDs? I've got a ton of them
starting somewhere around 93-94 and extended through the XP years.
Do I respect MS's IP and send them to the crusher?

Not required, I think.
There are activation codes for SOME of the software on the CDs, but not most of them. Many
will be trial versions or limited in some fashion. All of this old software is no longer
under MS support, and much of it can be downloaded from MS or other sites for free. So my
take on it is no need to kill them!

I still have a few MSDN disks containing national language versions of Win95 -- I've
run the Basque version for grins on occasion. (One wonders how they justified the expense
of creating that one...) It seems to be a full version, not limited in time or features
as far as I could tell.

That would surprise me a bit; I'm not aware of any OS software being
"trial veriosn" type. I think the shrink-wrap agreement calls for being
able to use it on up to 10 systems. The copies of, XP, for example are
fully licensed working versions.
Anyone know for sure?

With no key, it's basically useless and there's other sources out there
(IA) for media.
I'd also like to put out a call for any of the TechNet CDs, especially
those prior to the release of Windows 95.
tnx.

There's a ton of them on the IA already. I would /love/ to get the early
ones. My collection begins at 1997 so I would *eagerly* take anything
previous to that.

On a CASUAL basis, they wouldn't really care about any of the discontinued
products.
But, if you were to ask for a FORMAL policy statement, then they would
have to consult their legal department, and assert their IP rights.
(There is no legal recognition of any concept of "abandonware")
Because of his museum activities, Paul Allen would have been a good one
to get a written INFORMAL opinion from, because he might have understood
the concepts.
Since there is nothing on them that would identify you, there are a number
of people who would gladly help you to properly dispose of them.

The default answer would be "no". Any other answer requires work and
would not be pursued.

It's fairly well hidden, but you can indeed do that:
https://archive.org/advancedsearch.php?q=collection%3Awalnutcreekcdrom&…
There's some documentation here: <https://archive.org/help/json.php>.
The "advanced search" form is handy for setting up queries like the above.
The Python internetarchive module comes with a command-line tool "ia"
which can drive much of archive.org's interface programmatically; I use
it for searching and batch uploads/downloads rather than the web
interface.

It's fairly well hidden, but you can indeed do that:

Even a full list of what CDs Jason has there w/o
indexing would be helpful.
Trying to figure out what is there is a nightmare.
For a while, I had about 400gb of cd images on bitsavers until we ran out of disk space.
I probably have a few hundred more gb I've read since then. I've slowly been
trying to
find a full set of physical disks from Walnut Creek for CHM's archive.
I was recently talking to friends about making a Pi project with the Pi
camera above a CD-ROM drawer, and a pushbutton to trigger picture of CD +
ISO image automagically.
I have some AIX CDs, Oracle CDs, and old FreeBSD/Linux CDs to archive.
Years ago I had a robotic CD changer that could cycle through about 200
discs hands off. Seems like it would be ideal now :-)
Are you short on disk space?

Bill, that's one disc out of the hundred-plus that Walnut Creek produced.
