I've managed to contact Mr. Orzelski (so I reiterate - please do not seek him out, I am handling the conversation currently.)
To summarize what he told me, he said he definitely does still have the files for this site somewhere, but he has long work hours and not a lot of free time, so he will search through his old DVDs and get back to me. So it may be a few weeks before anything happens, but I'm fairly confident it will be found now.

I realized I haven't updated this thread in a while, so here is a bit of a status update.
I have been in contact with the creator of the site, Mr. Orzelski - I won't say via what means - and he is on board with sharing it. The problem is that he takes a very long time to respond to my messages. He has told me that he works a job that takes up most of his time and he doesn't get much time off, so he has other priorities, but still wants to help. This unfortunately means that I usually need to wait months or even a year between talking to him. This has been going on since 2020.
Most recently, about a year ago he told me he bought an adapter to get the files off his old Mac hard drive, but has not followed up since then to send them to me. I am asking that people please do not seek out this lead, and just let me handle this. Despite the long silence I am still fairly confident that he is just busy with his other priorities and will eventually get back to me, and I am continually sending follow ups after waiting a respectful amount of time. I am doubtful I will find anyone else who is in possession of these files, be it via the rare CD-ROM release or otherwise, so I am just playing the waiting game for now.
