Does anyone know where they can accept vintage software. I have a few that I would like to give up to.

The Chicago Classic Computer group (chiclassiccomp) archives any old software it can obtain. (CCC is the sponsor of the Vintage Computer Fest-Midwest that will be held next month.) See details here:

Much old software is lost or thrown away before it can be saved for future generations.
I will place it all in good hands if you want to send it to me.

If you can upload it to the internet, the Internet Archive will probably accept it.

Is it DOS related? I have MSDOS 3.3, 5.0 and 6.22 I think.
I may even have OS2 Warp around here somewhere. Cool

Many of them are Windows 3.11/95/98 supported software. There may be also DOS supported software as well. They are from the late 1980s and throughout 1990s.

My late father had Power Basic compiler from the 1990s as well. There may be manual and software. I may have already shipped two boxes to someone else by mistake.
