Macintosh original demo disk...

It's says what was shown on the screen was from the Mac, they never said the cool theme music was.

I do not know if is clear, but the reproduction I made is freelly available to download. I made a HD20.dsk image for those who have EMU HD20 emulator. So you can boot your Mac directly with it. It needs a 1 MB of RAM like Mac Plus, SE to run.

If he waits too long there won't be a 400 k floppy with the ability to prove its that software on that disk.

But whatever to each his own.

And not to mention the media will start to degrade over time. That is becoming a big problem with vintage reel-to-reel tapes, the ferric oxide, and other materials used to make the tape is starting to fall apart, flake off, turn into goo. 

Floppies are made in much the same way.

I never understood this. :-/

What's to understand? Some people are assholes. They like to horde things rather than do the right thing and make information free.

If I had something like that, assuming I didn't pay a small fortune for it, I'd make a disk image of it and let everyone that wanted one have one and to freely distribute the copies they have. Even if I did pay a small fortune, I'd still set up a donation thing and as soon as I got back what I paid for it, I'd release the disk images for free from that point forward.

I just have always hated the idea of keeping things from people just to say I have the only copy. That's just bullshit and being a jerk.

Just tried it... Great work!!!

I copied the contents on a 1440k image (it fits) so I can boot my classic from either emu or real floppy

This is also true of the adhesive holding the splice-tape to the audio tape. I got a box full of 1/4" home-recorded tape a few years ago, and the splices were falling apart on the ones I looked at. The actual material on the tape seemed to be intact, however.

Unfortunately, I've come to find out that everything degrades with age eventually.

Well, that's why were here I guess; to keep things in working order and to learn to repair things that weren't necessarily meant to be repaired.
