Boston Computer Society Disk Images

mrdav — Mon, 17 Mar 2014 01:37:36 +0000

The Boston Computer Society (BCS) dissolved in 1996. Since then they have continued to make available images of the many disks of shareware and freeware that they had produced. Most of these are 400k disk images using the old MFS file system. ~~Unfortunately, the web site containing these disk images is no longer accessible~~, so I have uploaded here the compete set that I previously downloaded from the BCS web site, wrapped in a StuffIt 1.5.1 archive. The contents of the images are listed in the "manual".
