Finally, examining the 0.97 system file shows that the included Chicago-12 has an incorrect size. Second, there are pre-release photos with the more traditional font used throughout.

First, no first-hand account mentions this. There are several reasons to believe this wasn't the case with the actual disks. The actual hardware exhibits the same property. Unfortunately it is untested with 400K disks - if you are in possesion of an Apple 800K / 1440K external floppy disk drive, you can definately use that with your 128k.

If you are interested in transferring files to your 128k, you can use this guide to transfer Mac files to a 1440K / 800K disk. As I do not have a 128k in my vintage computer collection, I am unable to verify if this issue occurs on the actual hardware or not. I have found this to occur on certain ROM files used in conjunction with Mini vMac. I've found that in certain 128k ROMs - a different font is used in place of the Chicago font.

I must inform you that that font is not a result of the System Software itself. I see in the blog post you make a comment about the odd font with that version of the System Software. I highly recommend you do this - it provides you with access to a massive amount of Macintosh software - not to mention Windows and other applications for download. So at this time, all I can say to you is to wait until you have 10 contributing posts - then apply for FTP access.

Unforunately, I am not able to distribute FTP files to you (as much as I want to). I wrote a quick blog post about what's on Phil & Dave's (mostly similar to the listing at Mac512) Pointless wrote:No luck on Phil & Dave's, Apple Legacy CD, or the Service Restoration CD (9/94). This has to do with the way early Macs handled running different applications on seperate disks. Be sure to transfer said tool to the disk with the OS you want the version for - if SysVersion is on another disk with a valid System Folder or System file, it'll report the version of that System instead of the one that's currently working. If you need to verify the system version, just use the SysVersion tool found with other earlier releases.

'Mac System Software' is how System 0.97 was referred to using Apple's 'System Software' versioning system, described here:

However, I am not really sure if this disk is actually a developer version (or beta) of Mac OS System 1.0, as it looks and feels just like Mac OS System 1.0 (actually it doesn't say this anywhere in the files). Also, Finder is reported as version 1.0, from January 18, 1984. However, I highly suggest you wait until you get access to the FTP.ĭJ Deedahx wrote:I actually downloaded Mac OS System 0.97, and the disk is labeled 'Mac System Software'. I believe that the developer disks use these. According to Mac512's list of Apple's version numbering, the names I previously mentioned are the names of 0.97 using Apple's (rather confusing) 'System Software' versioning. While I don't know exactly the contents of Phil & Dave's CD at this time, I'd advise you to perhaps check again - but search for 'Mac System Software' or 'Mac System Software 0.1'. While I don't have access to the BetaArchive FTP servers, I'm hopefully looking for a source that would accurately reflect what was originally mastered on the disk.ĭoes anyone know of a specific Apple Developer/Support CD that has the first shipping Mac System on it?

I'm looking for a list of known reliable (preferably Apple produced) sources for the Jan 1984 Macintosh System Disk.įor instance, I know that the Developer CD series included old system software, but I checked the first disk (Phil & Dave's excellent CD), and it only extends back to the System 1.1 (Aug 1984).Įvery online source I've found for System 0.97 shows signs of the image being modified/pieced together after the fact.
