Ah! Congratulations =). I had Wing Commander as part of a compilation which included the dire Megatraveller Elite Plus. I had loads of fun playing Wing Commander, very atmospheric, I'd put on a cap and a headset and pretend to be a real pilot =).
As far as I know the Software Preservation project is a strictly hoarding-project and not sharing (what exactly the point of preserving it if nobody can actually get at the software is something which puzzles me, but nevermind).
Being an evil little pirate seems to me the only sensible way to replace that messed up disk.
