I found a nice website selling new copies of vintage Mac software for affordable prices. Seeing as how I have a 128k and was seeking the perfect OS for it, (and with you guys and or gals' excellent help got it happily working for going over 5 months now) I bought a System 1.1 Finder 1.1g MacWrite + MacPaint floppy copy from him, and in my readings about System 1.1 Finder 1.1g, it has no Shut Down command, since up until System 2.0 supposedly Apple didn't think they needed a shut down sequence.
So if that information is even correct, my question then becomes the following:
If you eject the floppy running System 1.1 Finder 1.1g using the Eject command, and then turn the power switch off, can it corrupt the floppy the way leaving it in there would (I tried that on a copy of a System 2.0 Finder 4.1 floppy I made and eventually it got to where it made scary error messages.)
At that point I had to erase and reformat, which wasn't too bad, since the original still worked, but it wasn't pleasant to experience even so.)
I would guess that ejecting the floppy running System 1.1 Finder 1.1g would keep it from messing up. Just wanted to hear your opinions, since I don't know for sure. (In System 2.0 Finder 4.1, the Shut Down command ejects the floppy and then goes back to the flashing question mark, from which you can cut off the power switch safely.)
My Macintosh 128k is serial # F4410PMM0001, the 803rd made on the 41st week of 1984 in Fremont, California, USA, and the website I found is

Thanks so much everyone and have a blessed day!
