Download OLD broswers?

Could anyone direct me to a site where I can download old web browsers, such as Netscape 2.0 and similar versions of IE?

I would like to get these to test a site I am making for a class - we have to make sure it either works in old browsers, or provides an alternative (i.e. <NOFRAMES> and/or <NOSCRIPT> messages).

Thanks for any help.

PS - I wasn't able to find anything on the Netscape or MS sites.
 
Netscape does have an archive of older browsers but I no longer have the url. Have you tried a search using the Netscape 2.0 as key word? I will try to find the bookmark if I can but don't hold your breath. But there definitly is a place at netscape to get these, I know I have been there.
 
Well, oldbrowsers.com would be the obvious choice, but it seems to be down.

Ars Technica had a link in their news about a month ago to a site that had old browsers emulated within a web page. It was really cool, but I can't remember the site...if anyone does, could they post it? I'd like to play with it again! 🙂

EDIT: Try this link to oldbrowsers.com...kinda fscked up, but some of the downloads still work. 🙂
 
Thanks alot, all.

Microsoft's site actually has DLs available, my fault.
And between the other couple links I should be able to get plenty of Netscape versions.

Thanks again.
