Lo-Res Recording & Distribution has announced Vintage Synth Rescue Kits for several popular models of synthesizers. Each Mac/PC-compatible CD contains thousands of patches in Sysex format as well as a massive SoundDiver file containing up to 10,000 different patches. You'll also find Sysex librarians, manuals in PDF format, as well as articles and other information that may prove handy when picking up a second-hand instrument from Ebay.

Synths currently available in version 1.1: Korg's Poly-800 family, DS-8/707, Korg M1 Family, Roland D-50 family, Yamaha DX7 family, and Kurzweil K2x00 family. US$9.99 for all but the 2-disc Kurzweil set. Compare $10 to $10-20 for manuals alone purchased from other sites! Plans for the future include supporting more universal Editor/Librarians like MidiQuest and Unisyn, and of course free updates are available via email to anyone who buys a disc, as long as your email account can handle attachments over 2MB.
