[OFFER] AOL CD Dumps (4.0 - 9.0 Security Edition)
Hello,
Watching the progress with the Nina project to revive AIM / AOL I got a bit nostalgic and saw that WW only had up to 3.0 and wanted verified dumps of other versions.
I've got cds that I just ripped that span each version, including some duplicates with slightly different contents. The thing to know about AOL cds is that they are chock full of extras, older versions, IE, some have AIM, Java, Shockwave, all kinds of random apps.
I wasn't sure if I should just upload the full iso dumps somewhere (about 3.5GB) or if you guys wanted to just put the raw AOL installation files up on WW and ditch the extras.
I'm not sure if the later versions are truly a self-contained setup executable, I suspect they'll rely on at least some of the bundled content to be present. I haven't fired up any VMs to do test installations, but that could be done.
Here's the list I've got, I haven't scanned the CD labels yet, but I'll get around to that too:
AOL 4.0
AOL 5.0 x2
AOL 6.0
AOL 7.0
AOL 8.0
AOL 8.0 "Plus"
AOL 9.0 "Optimized" x2
AOL 9.0 "Security Edition"
