The goal of the TOSEC project is to maintain a database of all software and firmware images for all microcomputers, minicomputers and video game consoles. In addition to this, the project also catalogs other computing and gaming resources such as software and hardware manuals, magazine scans and computing catalogs.
TOSEC catalogs software and firmware such as:
* Applications
* BIOS
* Compilations
* Coverdisks
* Demos
* Device Drivers
* Educational software
* Games
* Magazines
* Multimedia
* Operating Systems
* Promotional and sampler software
As well as other computing and games related resources such as:
* Catalogs
* Comics
* Educational manuals and books
* Hardware manuals
* Magazines
* Software manuals
Using this data, TOSEC can provide quality assurance and auditing tools for cataloging and validating software images (such as ROM chip images, CD images and floppy disk images etc.) and computing resources (such as manuals and magazines).
The TOSEC database contains detailed information on images of hundreds of thousands of ROMs, EEPROMs, optical discs, magnetic disks, magnetic tapes, document scans, and other sundry media and individual files.
