I have a feeling I don't have the necessary files, so I want to check before I really drag out the hardware this evening.
I have the entire Apple Software Downloads archive, so I have the versions of System 6 and 7 they had on their webpage. The problem is System 6 (and 7) is only in multi-disk versions, in this case four 800k diskette images.
Is it possible to make this into one file that will fit on an 800k diskette, or do I need a different file? This is for a Mac Plus. I also only have one 800k floppy, so...
I tried to see if this would work on my PB520c last night, but Disk Copy on that seems to have some kind of issue. I can make the diskette on either my 180 with 7.1, my Quadra with 7.5.5, or my SE/30 with 7.0.1, and getting files to those machines is time consuming but not bad (Mac Pro > iMac OS9 > Old Mac sneakernet).
Eventually I'm going to buy a ROMinator but that's not in the cards for this moment, and I'd like to get this working sooner than that. Since 6.0.8 is well recommended I'd like to use that.
