Try using a dos emulator, like DOSbox.
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/
It can also emulate some sound cards, like SB, but not sure about the
Roland one that was used in the orginal.Also make sure you get a
frontend, makes it a lot easier to use, I prefer Boxer, but it hasn't
been updated for 0.63.
There's some scans of box/manual/cluebook covers at
http://vgmuseum.chaoticmonkey.com/
(under Museum -> ssi)
In the event one of your disks get "corrupted" or" damaged", try:
http://www.the-underdogs.org/
(enter ssi, under company search)
Manuals:
http://project64.c64.org/
I think there's also recreations of most of the Goldbox games using
Unlimited Adventures, but not sure if they're still around, try:
http://members.aol.com/autery/
And finally, I found savegames with the complete(?) set of all
magical/special weapons, armours, etc for ****, CotAB, and Buck Rogers,
I can post them somewhere, if ppl want them.
