Mac HD20 INIT needed

Hello, all:

    I recently got a Mac HD20 hard drive, which is the floppy-based hard
drive for the 512k Mac. It requires the HD20 INIT file, which does the
following:

<insert>
The Mac 128 and 512k will need [the HD20 INIT] extension to use the HD20.
The Mac 512ke and Plus do not. Basically the 64k ROM, 400k drive Macs need
the
extension and 128k ROM, 800k drive Macs don't. The 128k ROM as well as the
HD20 INIT give the required HFS instead of MFS of the 64k ROM. In fact your
Mac512k can also use an external 800k disk drive with the HD20 INIT (and
this works out well, 400k internal, HD20 hard drive, 800k external floppy).
The early Macs can support up to 3 floppy devices (including the one
inside)."

    Does anyone have this file? Thanks!
