IBM Developer Connection Archive

IBM Developer Connection was IBM's CD-ROM subscription service for software developers during the OS/2 era. Across twelve published volumes, it distributed operating systems, SDKs, toolkits, sample code, device drivers, technical documentation and thousands of software packages from IBM and third-party vendors.

DevConDB is a searchable historical archive of every published catalogue from Volumes 1–12, preserving the original catalogue information while making this unique software collection easier to browse, search and research.

Coming soon

With the primary IBM Developer Connection archive now complete, future work will broaden DevConDB to cover related IBM developer collections.

Developer Connection for LAN Systems

Dedicated coverage of IBM's companion collection for network and LAN systems development.

Developer Connection for AIX

Dedicated coverage of the AIX-focused Developer Connection collection and its software catalogues.
