Looking for 256-color image slideshow disk

[blakespot]

Ive seen the set of images shown here, along with a few others, linked together in various forum posts on the web, searching this morning on the APAC software approach to high-color on the A8 using various clever tricks.

 

Ex:

Does anyone know where this or a similar slideshow can be downloaded as a disk image? Thanks.

- 80x96 pixels, non-interlaced (uncompressed, 62 sectors), Apac-2 (same as dutch Paint 256)

- 80x96 pixels, non-interlaced ? (uncompr., 62 sectors), Apac

- 80x119 (or a little less 80x112 ?, uncompressed and compressed, non-interlaced Technicolour Dream)

- 80x192 pixels, interlazed Pryzm (uncompressed 123 or 124 sectors)

- 80x192, interlaced Digi-Paint (uncompressed 123 sectors)

- 80x192, interlaced, Paint 256 (german version, Happy Computer magazine, uncompressed 123 sectors)
