In 2022, I introduced the project DISCMASTER, which is a unique project to make the internals of tens of thousands of 1990s-2000s CD-ROMs findable in a semantic search. Today, I'm announcing the team has now made DISCMASTER 2, a ground-up rewrite with so much improvement. discmaster.textfiles.com

If you missed it the first time, DISCMASTER does semantic search after analyzing hundreds of millions of files locked deep down inside ISOs and BINs of CD-ROMs from the era when the CD-ROM reigned. We've already found long-lost media, buried citations, and forgotten applications and items. What now?
