Alex Taylor:
Indeed, the Software Choice is in Japanese (and is for Warp Server Advanced Japanese Edition).

The Warp 4 Chinese is the Simplified Chinese Edition (i.e. for the mainland Chinese market). 

Fun fact, back when I had Passport Advantage in its final few years, it was supposedly for Warp 4 English.  For some reason, IBM put copies of not only MCP1/2 English on my account, but also gave me Japanese, French, German, and Simplified Chinese.  And, for some strange reason, ACP2 in German.

Mathias:
Japanese indeed! : ) - Would be a nice collectable. *__*
I definitely need more space to store all these... :>

Btw.. anybody know what THIS is?

Internal:

- Click

Question is also... due to the weird form "factor" of that CD.... is it safe to put that into a production drive? ; )

Those shaped CD-ROMs were "a thing" in the 90's, buy luckily not for long. Their compatibility with drives were limited to those that one pushed disc to the spindle (mostly portable ones). Some discs would have worked in normal ones if the design of the disc was made so it centered the disc correctly.

Business cards and whatnot shapes were around. Fortunately this madness didn't last long. Some bands released some music on these, but mostly just novelty items that were not meant for use :D

Looking at the leaflet one deducts it was some kind of software pack, no idea what ...

Your hyperlink is invalid ... you can see there are extra stuff around the URL.

Correct one would be:

*gg* the [ ] around the Click me link were intentional. Usually I do these as they should "simulate" a button.

Mhm.. okay.. so better only try these CDs in an normal CD/DVD drive. : ]

Business card CD's are still a thing

They will survive a high speed drive unlike some of the more interesting shapes did, not to mention thin walled DVD-RW's that exploded if you tried to write to them at high speeds
