Ressurecting Mac Plus

Making an 800K boot disk is easy if you have something like a Mac II or
Quadra lying around. Just use Disk Copy to make a floppy from the image. I
got it to work on a Power Macintosh 6100, but some people have had problems
making 800K disks with Power Macs.

I have images for System 0.97/Finder 1.0 through about System 6.0.1/Finder
6.1. But you'll need System 3.0/Finder 5.0 or higher for SCSI support, I
think. But System 3 didn't become stable until System 3.2/Finder 5.3. I
would recommend System 6.0.8, the last release of System 6. Although I've
used 7.0 on a Plus without any problems, but you need 2 megs of RAM for
System 7.

Do you have a system you could use to make a floppy with?
