I think http://reba.cei.net/daggerweb has them under Daggerfall File
Library.

They are in ADDQUEST.ZIP

CompUSA is a software store. The special version has additionaal quests,
dungeons and treasures. It is sold only at CompUSA, however you can
download the extra goodies as a freshup file.

CompUSA did not have a special version. They released part of a patch that
added some quests and fixed some old ones. If you have patch 195, you have
them all.

I don't believe this is correct. CompUSA does have a special version,
they still advertise it, and bethesda got a lot of flack for agreeing
to this. In any case, the CUSA quests are not in any of the standard
patches, including 195, and you have to download the CUSA patch from
any of several good DF websites to get those quests.

What kind of quests are we talking about? What kind of items do you mean?

There are one or two extra quests for each of several quest classes.
There is an extra knight's quest that gets some of the artifacts
listed as "unaligned" in the hintbook. The rest of those "unaligned"
artifacts can be gotten by a standard knight's quest. One of the
extra Mage Guild quests sends you to a renegade mage in town, who will
later help you to find Direnni Tower and Lysandus' Tomb without using
the main plot quest sequence.

Since I haven't bothered to add the quests to my game yet, I can't tell
you. Perhaps someone who has (Sandra, are you listening?) will say
just what they do.
