I'm working on a few things for my site and I wanted to link to manuals for early releases of System software. But... I'm having difficulty finding existing scans online for the various revisions. I'm hoping to track them down through this site so can get them added to the internet archive if they haven't been scanned yet. I've included links to copies I have found:
  • 1.0: 030-0687 128k/512k owner's guide, System 1.0 Finder 1.0
  • 1.0: 030-0687-A 128k/512k owner's guide, not sure what changed
  • 1.1: 030-0687-B 128k/512k owner's guide, possibly updated for System 1.1 Finder 1.1g?
  • 2.0: no info, possibly an insert, System 2.0 / Finder 1.1g
  • 2.1: 032-0017 insert, 12 pp. Introduced new features in System 2.0 Finder 4.1?
  • 3.0: 030-1246-A Plus owner's guide. Covers System 3.0 Finder 5.1?
  • 3.x: 030-1246-B Plus owner's guide, no sure what changed
  • 3.x: 030-1326-A 512Ke owner's guide.
  • 030-1320-C a combined 512Ke (512K/800) and Plus Manual
  • 4.0: 030-1242-A Plus Owner's Guide, 1987. Covers System 4.0 Finder 5.4.
  • 5.0: 031-1302-Macintosh New Features Update
  • 6.0: 030-3294-A Plus Owner's Guide, 1988.
  • 6.0: 030-3294-B Plus Owner's Guide, 1988. I have this one, will scan.

I have 030-3294-A which I can scan at some point. Wonder what's different with the B revision!

The B version is missing the alternate disk chapter and has some screenshots with newer icons and font mover. It was discussed on this forums years ago could be lost too
