Massive collectoin of Mac 68k disks OS and applications

About a year ago picked up a Macintosh IIx from someone cleaning out their garage.  They also had boxes of disks that they were planning to send to the dump that they passed on to me.  This was about the time I was packing everything up to put in storage in preparation for renos and a move between cities, so this is the first time I've been able to pull everything out to take a look... that and get one of my macs set up and running.  I really to get them recapped.

Now that I'm digging through the boxes it looks like he did development / testing work for apple and other companies.

I now have a lot of OS disks without version numbers, but instead names like Juggler, Pinball, and Paris.

For the ones that are labeled, the oldest I've found so far is what appears to be an OS disk, labeled MacStuff 1,2,3 and appears to be from September 1984, there is also a disk that seems to be the Apple Lisa OS.

There is a ton of commercial software too.

I'm in the process of creating disk images, and will post a list later.

 
So far, the easy ones to figure out are:

OS 4.1

OS 5.0a4

OS 6.00

OS 6.00 Juggler

OS 6.02

OS 6.03

OS 6.03b3

OS 6.04

OS 6.05

OS 6.05b3

OS 6.06 a15 Pinball

OS 6.06 a15 Ray ban

OS 6.07

OS 7.0

OS 7.1

OS 7 System Update 3.0 ... assuming this makes OS 7 in to 7.3?

Then I have a bunch that only have dates, or the finder #, I'm going through and matching those up to the chart on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_Mac_OS

No 6.08L unfortunately

I guess 6.06 was only released to developers?

 
Neat find!

System 6.0.6 was released publicly, but it didn't last too long because it had some serious bugs that broke the keyboard and AppleTalk.

Sounds like some pretty interesting stuff. You should consider uploading the images to archive.org as I know they are interested in growing their collection of early Mac floppy images.

ROM maps could be some kind of table that explains where things are in the ROM's memory layout, probably not full ROM images. Are they pretty small files?

Hi Realitystorm,

Please consider contributing your disk images, especially ones of beta systems and early 1984-era disks to Mac GUI Vault. You can email me dog_cow@macgui.com

 
I'm pretty sure Juggler was the codename for System 6's MultiFinder, the multitasking update for Macintosh, see this news article: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=fGXpro99fIsC&lpg=PP1&ots=AVKJinM6GZ&dq=apple macintosh juggler system 6&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q=apple macintosh juggler system 6&f=false

The most well-known solution for multitasking before then was Switcher, written by Andy Hertzfeld after he left Apple. Apple almost acquired it but it didn't work out in the end. See his story about developing Switcher here: https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?story=Switcher.txt

Will do.  I'm currently testing them out with VMAC to confirm the versions etc for some of the disks.

There was also a box of A/UX disks, going through those now.

Thanks James

 
I seem to have a developer's version of System 7?

I thought it was simply the box for a purchased version of System 7.  But the CD-ROM inside is:

Apple Developer Group, The May 1991 Golden Master Release, System 7.

Seems to have a bunch of extra info for developers to get their code ready to run on System 7.

 
Regarding 6.0.6: it was shipped with some very, very early Macintosh Classics. These Classics came with a set of 6.0.7 disks as well and users were advised to destroy the 6.0.6 disks. If you've seen one of those System disks with a green "6.0.7" sticker on it, it's from an early Classic that had them thrown in along with the memo not to use the original disks. My August 1990 Classic had such a disk set.

6.0.6 actually is usable if you don't put it on a network! I've run it on a Classic with minimal difficulty! Honestly, I like running it just for show...

 
Found another box so have to image it yet.   Something called MacHydro for modeling ponds, MacRoads for modeling roadways.

Also need to image the A/UX disks.
