[Offier] A bunch of CDs, all official non-burnt image disks

[BigHiggins]

I have a plastic bin of old CDs and DVDs. Here's a list of disks that aren't burned unofficial images (illegal schiesse, I know betaarchive doesn't allow such):

Drivers & Utilities, disk says contents are "Adobe Acrobat Reader, Fuzzy Logic, Live Update, PC Alert, Norton, and a useful website"
Packard Bell Microsoft Multimedia Pack for Windows, version 1.0
Windows Vista Step by Step (disk says to not make illegal copies of it, so I guess BetaArchive won't take a .iso rip of it?)
Access Internet Connectivity CD
Compaq CD For Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition Operating System
Microsoft Student and Teacher Edition 2003 (another "Do Not Make Illegal Copies Of This Disc" disk)
Microsoft Money 2001 Standard (another one)

if this list is too undescriptive, i can take pics of each disk front and back, along with contents, and upload 'em

Welcome to BetaArchive!

Unfortunately the only title here that could be of interest is the Microsoft Student and Teacher Edition 2003 (Office right?). The rest is just the standard assortment of drivers and OEM shovelware.

What about Microsoft Money 2001 Standard, Packard Bell Microsoft Multimedia Pack for Windows, and BitWare? Would those also be accepted if they came on original media? I'm just asking, since I saw that those titles were also in the list along with the one that you mentioned here.

Bitware is shovelware, Packard Bell Multimedia pack is unknown but sounds like regular OEM stuff. We most likely already have Money 2001 Standard, but will have to check thoroughly. You can also check in the list posted in my signature and see if you can find the titles.

About 8 links in the Online list have been broken. Just letting you know they're all about 100 bytes in size, so you can easily see which ones aren't working properly

Apparently, it would seem to me that BitWare was an official program that was released by Cheyenne. Here is a link to an article about it on WinWorld: https://winworldpc.com/product/bitware/3x

Of course, I could be wrong about this, but it seems to me that it might have actually existed as a separate product on its own media, as opposed to only being shipped on driver CD-ROMs, which indeed are outside of this site's focus.

Well, include BitWare and The Software Toolworks, World Atlas as well. We may have any of the mentioned titles but since they all came with various OEMs etc it's difficult to see if we have it without comparing it directly.

I would also like the adaptec sczi software and the 56k modem software stuff, if possible.

Ditto with the software stuff from the 56k modem disc. Also I would've asked for the Compaq stuff, but I'm unsure if whether they would be compatible with the Compaq I have.

The Compaq I have is a 5000 series from 1998 that came with Windows 98 FE. I did find its QuickRestore disc, but from what I can tell by the disc contents it doesn't seem to do much. Should have a 98FE reinstall disc as I did find the 98 book containing the OEM key, but my family probably lost the disc as I was unsuccessful at trying to look for it from the remaining boxes we had that were related to the machine left. I did find this one other Compaq OEM disc with 98SE, which I presume it could be the same as the one being offered by the OP, but it didn't detect my machine as a valid Compaq even though it is.

Would also love to have the Compaq CD's images as well.
