Anyone know about this sticker, also this Finder mod?

Hi,

I just got a 512k delivered! Yay! It is in perfect shape with virtually no yellowing. Wow!

Anyway, it has this sticker on the front and I don't know what it is. It says "16" in a red Apple logo. Pic below.

Also, I did a "About this Mac" and got a Finder mod I never heard of. Anyone have any insights? Pics below.

The sticker is a very common one, usually found on Apple II/III stuff. Full sheets still come up on eBay.

From what I can find, Dave appears to be a save Mac user of times past. I don't think an Apple employee. Here is a short mention of it in Washington Apple Pi. I attached the PDF as well as a screen shot of the page.

Also there is mention of Dave here about giving a demo on Hypercard in 1987.

The stickers were meant to identify 16 sector disks when the 13 and 16 were both used on the Apple II.

That's just awesome!  Any chance you could image the disk?

Love that altered Finder! Great historical find

Get it up somewhere for preservation if you can

I'll do that later this week. Sharing is cool

I'll put it in my dropbox for you guys and then maybe MacGUI or the garden for posterity.
