This one is slightly more useful as it has the part numbers for the manuals and disks.
I have two of the mentioned disks:
- "Welcome" (690-5555-A)
- "Looking inside your Macintosh IIfx" (690-5556-A)
In the packing lists, I think the "Welcome" disk is listed as "Macintosh Basics". Not sure why mine says Welcome on the label instead.
When I have a bit more time, I can scan the disk labels and recreate them as vector files in case anyone wants to recreate their own copies. I also need to image the disk contents as well.
I have two of the booklets:
- Setting Up Your Macintosh Ilfx 030-3909
- Macintosh IIfx Special Options and Technical information 030-3910
These are both short guides printed in colour, not spiral bound. When I have more time, I'll scan these and clean them up and upload as PDFs on the Internet Archive for prosperity.
The system software disks listed in the packing list with part numbers were for System Software v6.0.5. I am not sure how different they would be to other 6.0.5 disks or if it's just the same as what could already be downloaded or found on the various archives of Mac system software (e.g. Legacy recovery, etc).
So, it looks like I'm less short than I thought I was in terms of the stuff that's meant to go with a IIfx. It doesn't seem there was actually ever an 'Owner's Guide' for the IIfx, like there was for other II series machines.
I'll keep posting info in this thread as I find more...
