This tip of a method of obtaining the downloads was suggested by sdfox7. Special thanks to them for decoding
how to discover old downloads.

You can use a similar method for many other downloads of older software.
As I also found out, .bin files even Mac OS X 10.9 understands. .smi files Disk utility won't open in Mac OS X 10.9, but it will convert to .dmg files.
If you copy the contents to a USB Flash drive of the same name as the dmg file (without the suffix), it can hold the installer in question and connect older Mac OS 9 machines to run the installer from. Just make sure the USB drive is formatted HFS+ no journaling, or FAT16 and under 4GB in size.
The other thing to note, is that no Mac running Mac OS X 10.3 or higher supports the old style floppy disks of under 1.4 MB. The beige PowerMacs were the last that supported the 800k floppies with the single notch on the the corner. If you have floppies with two notches on either corner of the label, then they are 1.4 MB.
1.4 MB floppy looks like:
400k and 800k floppy look like:

It is only described as 'This is a retail non hardware specific universal CD with all the newest Mac PPC ROMS added. This will install on ANY PPC Mac.'
Googling around, it seems the primary download and information is here:

And also downloadable:

I'm wondering if anyone knows anything more about this. I'm a little confused if this simply means it will install on any machines that were certified for 9.2.2 without their machine-specific version, or if it means it will also install on PPC machines that were only certified for MacOS X.
It does at least sound like it adds LBA large hard drive support, that was not present in all machine-specific 9.2.2 releases.
Since it is downloadable elsewhere, I probably don't need to add it to the Winworld library, but I might at least add a link to it since it sounds like something that might be useful to the community.
(On a side note, why the blazes do so many of these Mac sites block Windows 95 user agents?!)
