Forum rules


Please read the following rules before posting a download request in this area:

1. Don't post a request if you have under 10 posts as stated on the front page. If you do anyway, it will be deleted without further notice. This also applies to other members: If you see a request by someone with less than 10 posts and it hasn't been deleted yet, please don't reply to it.
2. Don't request for warez or any copyrighted software. Only betas (no matter how old or new) and finals of operating systems and applications that are at least 10 years old and therefore classified as abandonware are allowed to be uploaded to and shared on the BetaArchive FTP server.
3. If you have your own FTP server where you'd like other members to upload what you're looking for to, please don't post its login details in any open forum as that will probably lead to abuse. Post the login details in the Private Servers section instead.
4. Check that we don't already have the file on our FTP servers. If you don't have access to the FTP servers then ask someone who has (a moderator for example).

Just a crazy thought I had.

Do people still have the Floppy disks that came with the PC Magazines from the 1990's? I found 2 that I had but they are way beyond good. :cry:

I know there is a preservation effort for most systems, but it seems the IBM PC is loosing out.

My question is:
1) do anyone know if there is a site that have these disks archived.
2) do anyone here have some of them and is willing to image them

Thanx for reading

Most likely they are in the hands of private collectors... Though there are usually a site or two for such stuff. ;)

Of course there would be if they were browsing the net back in the day. I just never thought about it.
