To my knowledge, Mick, these CDROM's started showing up on eBay
perhaps a couple of weeks ago.  I think it is possible that the
seller just downloaded and is just copying to CD all of the PDF
manuals that Pentax has recently made available online (and, in
fact, only a short time before the CD-ROM's started showing up).  I
haven't carefully checked the list of manuals on the CD-ROM against
the list on the Pentax site, but I did happen to notice a week or
two ago that the CD-ROM was missing at least a couple of the manuals
(Super Program, AF280T) that are also missing in the Pentax list.
Coincidence?  <g>

I really don't know the exact status of this at all, but I suspect
you may be right.  In any event, I did get a kick out of the pricing
- the CD-ROM's are going for a half a dollar each, but the seller
then wants something like $8.00 for shipping a CD-ROM - <g>.
