FYI, you can get listings of contents of most ISOs, DMGs, ZIPs, etc that are on archive.org. If you visit an archive.org page like https://archive.org/details/cdrom-ldr-0694, then in the DOWNLOAD OPTIONS section you can click SHOW ALL and that will display a list of all files (including ISOs) that archive.org has squirrelled away, like this:

Click on one of the (View Contents) links to view a listing of all files in that archive. Works for at least .iso, .DMG, .zip, .tar.
