It depends. If the license permits redistribution, we MIGHT be able to host them in our ibiblio mirror. But it's kind of outside our charter with ibiblio. But since this is mostly drivers for AST computers, a better solution might be for you to contact the ibiblio folks directly, and ask if they will host them for you under http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/ (perhaps http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/ast/). Again, the license would have to permit redistribution. Usually this requires the original, unmodified distribution files (zip, exe, ...) -jh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once. Port to many.
