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:

  Name                                Last modified      Size
  Go to parent directory
  README                              18-Dec-2012 01:48    8.8K
  cdrom-ldr-0694_archive.torrent      01-Sep-2016 14:02   26.8K
  cdrom-ldr-0694_files.xml            21-Jun-2020 06:17    1.6K
  cdrom-ldr-0694_meta.xml             21-Jun-2020 06:17    2.4K
  ldr_0694_disc1.iso (View Contents)  18-Dec-2012 01:43  637.4M
  ldr_0694_disc2.iso (View Contents)  18-Dec-2012 01:44  646.5M
                          
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.
