Okay, i'm making a separate post for visibility on this -

Someone uploaded some rare light pen drivers to Google Drive, then ascended to the astral plane. The Google Drive link is now dead.

There is one wayback machine snapshot, which gives me hope that maybe, wayback machine has the files too - but the page javascript doesn't work and I can't figure out how to derive the actual content links.

just putting this out there in case anyone has done this before - is any of this stuff retrievable?

@gloriouscow Which one are you looking at? Maybe viewing source and getting the .zip file name, then searching for that file name may help?

@c64whiz all of them

the disk images are the most important though. The thing is they're all just modern names the uploader made up, so there are no other hits

@gloriouscow @c64whiz ZIP name gave a hit at https://vetusware.com/manufacturer/FTG%20DATA%20SYSTEMS/ - is that related maybe?

Give other search engines a try too:
