The great majority of my involvement in creating the abandonware 
movement in the mid 1990s was to this end.  Probably shouldn't say this 
out loud (then-IDSA has come after me before) but about 80% of the 
bootable PC diskette images (ie. not a .com/.exe or DOS-formatted 
diskette, but rather a disk you stick in and boot the computer with) you 
can grab on the 'net is my doing.

Thanks to DMCA exceptions, I continue this work today a bit more legally.
