I now have 2GB worth of software compiled into 2 1GB Images. As soon as they are done, I will post directions on how people can obtain them. They have a complete line of software that you would ever need on a Macintosh.

I have found some good servers to get these files from. So if anyone has a server that they wish these archives to be uploaded to, please reply with contact details so these gems can be spread. These archives have copies of rare software in many cases, and i hope to expand them to preserve Mac 68K software.

I expect my next archive to reach 5GB as I will be adding many versions of Rhapsody. Yes, I am a member of a server that has it. They have about a good 3GB of Macintosh Stuff. But the bandwidth is also an issue, so I only download a bit each month.

If anyone wants to support my efforts to create the ultimate archives of 68K History, please post links where i can get stuff.

What I am in desperate need of is a program that will run in Windows that can easily create a multiple GB HFV file. Most of the programs only go up to 2GB, and soon the archive will expand beyond that. Although the archive will contains 1GB chunks for each sequence, I also want a single large master file to work with to sort things. :)

Some things that are hard to come by:

Full Installers for 8.0, 8.1, 7.6
Microsoft Office Suites/Installers

Let me know if you have these and are willing to contribute. I am making a list of those who help out.

Citon x600.

It can be downloaded via FTP.

There is a limit to the number of users.

If others want this item uploaded to a server, please e-mail or post with contact instructions. Note that some servers may have this archive or older versions.

Also, vote if you want the size of the archives to be reduced so that they are in the range of 250MB each. If I get feedback, I will reduce the sizes.

BTW I think we have 8.0 on the 68k mla hotline server. If not, I have the CD. I also have a 7.6.1 CD, and it installs on a 68k, of course, but it was shipped with a PPC, as you might expect, so a lot of useless stuff is installed. Customization was a bit lacking back then, donchaknow. It works, though

I'm not sure if there ever WAS a full install of 8.1...

Each volume is 250MB, so two volumes can fit on a single CD.

Currently Volumes 1-4 are available on the FTP. The amount of abandonware or "outdatedware" that is on there is intensive. I will try and give a partial/full list:

Plus i am scanning for lots more stuff, because I have entire Rhapsody installs going on the archives and more apps and games etc.

Lots going on. :)

I am working on the next volumes and w=they will be showing up at your local hotline servers any day. :)

The ftp will stay up, but I am going to start the KDX Server and see how it performs. KDX can limit bandwidth and can apply limits to accounts, so I may tinker with it. Also, I do ask that please if you decide to use the FTP, don't run multiple streams because I do run other servers and so I can't guarantee if you run multiple streams that it will work or not. Plus, you will take away bandwidth for other users. So please play nice. :)

I am also testing out a Direct Connect HUb, which makes it much easier to share files without a bandwidth restraint on one single machine. Users connect to the server and share files they have. Each client shares a unique share and that's how things are spread. It's much better than having one server that constantly pumps out, but rather now a group of users can pool thier resources together and share some really neat stuff. :)

If you are interested anyone, then e-mail me. I am sorta just going through the basic steps right now, but think that would be a great feature for this site. :)
