Bitsavers' Software Archive

This is a mirror (one of a few) of Al Kossow's bitsavers.org website. It looks like bitsavers.org redirects to a mirror because Al's server doesn't have the bandwidth to put up with direct access.

The contents of the dump are all Al's choice. Much of it he has collected himself, but if you send him PDFs or software dumps and he thinks it is a fit, he'll add it. I don't believe he intends for it to be a clearing house of every possible document or bit of software. It started mostly as scans of mainframe documents, but over the years the scope has crept wider.

Al has spent many years (> 15?) collecting all that stuff, and a few years ago he was hired by the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.

Cool. What are the prerequisites for software to appear here? In Borland/DOS there is only Turbo Basic and Turbo Lightning but Borland did release early versions of Turbo C and Turbo Pascal as a museum like release. There's also the Borland C++ 5.5 command line tools that I believe were also released freely
