It looks like snapshot of various Newton "Software" Websites over a
period of 1999-2001. Most of the stuff is available on UNNA but there
is a small percentage of stuff that I'm sure I've never seen before.

Good question. I've been looking at those too. I would say the majority
of the website archives are just an index.html file from the website.
If the index.html file had links to software (packages or .sit files),
then it appears the archiver captured the software packages too.
There are a number sites that do have supporting .html and image files.
Say, for instance, if the website author divided their newton pages in
several .html documents, those pages are typically there.
Here is a bigger listing (576K) including the filenames in various
subdirectories:

I've got a couple requests so far. I'm only charging the cost of the
physical DVD plus the cost of shipping. In the U.S. I'm estimating
about $5 shipped. For International addresses, I estimate between
$5-$15.
Right now I'm preparing a master image for burning. I'm about 200MB
over the 4.3GB limit and I'm trying to stuffit (.sea) the disk images
down a little smaller (more power, I need more power!). I'm trying to
fill up the DVD so that it will have all the files available for
browsing, plus disk images if you wanted to make an original set of 8
CDR's. I may just cut it short and burn the thing with or without the
CD images.
