Okay, I have started the process of cataloging my floppy disk collection. I've just done the Apple 'System' disks, and am up to 163 unique disks, 334 including duplicates.
I have the following systems:
5.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.2, 6.0.3, 6.0.4, 6.0.5, 6.0.7 on HD, 6.0.8 on DD, 7.0 on HD, 7.0.1 on HD, 7.1 on both DD and HD, 7.1.1 Pro, 7.5. I also have two different versions of System 7 Tune-Up, System 7.5 Update 2.0, 7.5.5 Update, and the Disk Tools disks for 7.6 and 8.0.
Interestingly, one set of 7.5 says "Version 1.0" on the back, while three other sets say "Version 7.5" on the back. The "Disk 1" has different part numbers between the two variations, but disks 2+ have the same part number, in spite of the stated version difference.)
I also have the custom "Install Me First", Disk Tools, and sometimes an extra disk or two for the following systems (all otherwise use standard 7.1 disk sets other than the two or three custom disks
"Centris 610, 650, Quadra 800", "Centris 660AV, Quadra 840AV", "Quadra 610, 650", "Quadra 660AV, 840AV", LC III, "PowerBook 160 180", "PowerBook 160, 180, 165c, 180c", "PowerBook 160, 165, 180, 165c, 180c", "PowerBook Duo 210, 230", "PowerBook Duo Family", "PowerBook Duo" (this one can boot the 280c, while "Family" can not.)
I also have a "System Enablers" disk that is for 7.0-7.1.1 that includes pretty much every enabler for every machine that can run a system before 7.1.2.
I also have the same type of sets for 7.1.2 for the "Quadra 630, LC 630" and "PowerBook 520, 520c, 540, 540c" In spite of the fact that the Quadra/LC 630 is technically 7.1.2P and the PowerBooks are "just plain" 7.1.2, the "Goodies" and "Printing and Fonts" disks are identical between the two.
In addition, I have the Disk Tools for the following 7.5 machines:
"PowerBook 5300 series", "PowerBook 5300 and 190 series", "PowerBook 5300/2300/190 series plus PowerPC Upgrades", "PowerBook Duo 2300 series" ("series"? I thought there was only the 'c' model?), "PowerBook 1400 series"
Lastly, I have the "Your Apple Tour of..." "A Closer Look At..." and "Looking Inside..." disks for the:
IIc Plus, SE (two different versions,) II, IIx, SE/30, IIcx, IIci, Portable, Iisi, and IIfx. (Although the IIfx disk is blank, missing the original content! If anyone has this disk, I'd appreciate a disk image of it.)
Tomorrow I should get around to cataloging the hardware driver disks (printers, modems, monitors, etc,) as well as the 'application' disks (HyperCard, AppleShare.) Those are probably another 50-70 disks.
Oh, and I have 10 'complete' sets of System 7.1 (Install through Tidbits, not including Disk Tools.) 12 copies of 7.1 Printing, Fonts, and Tidbits. Plus one 800k disk copy. I also have 5 complete sets of 7.0.1, and 5 complete copies of System 5.0. I also have 10 "Your Apple Tour of the Macintosh SE" disks. Four of the newer 'rainbow logo' style disks, and six of the older 'black stripe' style disks.
Now when I have about a month of downtime, I may get around to creating disk images of them all.....
P.S., this thread is a (rather late) followup to my List of Apple CDs thread from last November.
