Sounds like a tough job Rich, I guess finding some of the programs will be an almost impossible task. Even if they are still in the wild, they're likely to be hidden away in a loft somewhere, the cold won't do those microdrives and favours. I store my Microdrives in my lounge under the settee out of sight. At least it's reasonably warm there.
I've got plenty of 'stuff' which no longer loads so I hope you are successful in your quest ( sounds a bit Hollywood but you get my drift ).

Not just copy protection - but other issues, such as they load a specific sector after loading and use that code, or the tape is unreadable!
