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).

Walking back home today, when on my street I see a huge case of floppies. Unfortunately the case was locked, so I had to brute force my way in. I'm sure there's a lot of personal stuff, it while to sort all the floppies out.

The box:

My Compaq Armada's floppy drive now has a lot of reading to do :) . I'll post back the file names and upload them as they come.

I would maybe be interested in knowing the contents of the floppys "Ripterm i belive is the name, GP.zip" and in the floppy located under the gp.zip, the one that seems to have more than one item in it. If you could identify the contents, i would maybe be interested.

How did you know there were floppies in the case, if it was locked?

It's local council clean up week in my area, so anything on the footpath is free. I'm about a 1/5 of the way through ripping and filing the floppies.

Maybe its some undiscovered beta build, or even better; ASCII porn! :O

I'm guessing the Internet starter kit probably has something like AOL or CompuServe software on it with drivers for DOS and/or Windows 3.1 on it.

Why would some random people have rare betas? To me those floppies look like any other floppy collection from people, random software, saved documents and shareware floppies people happened to have around...

We'll see what's on them once they have been indexed but don't get unrealistic here :).
