Password protect pre-OS 9

I think they were all called "upgrade kits" (at least, I've never seen a 7.1 box that wasn't), presumably because it was for already operational Macs and not because it required a previous version of the operating system (since it didn't, natch).

 
I'm not sure if it was a promo that we all just so happen to have or if it was standard equipment.
Pics of the other software boxes, and their documentation, would help. Another thing to look for is the date code on the packing list (mine is 09/92).

 
That's even better than a reference -- what a cool find. I admittedly don't have retail system 7.1 -- just the 7.1 preloads from the Q840av and the LC520-or-550, and a retail 7.6, none of which had At Ease, if I remember correctly. (I have the packing list from the LC520 and from the LC520 lab kit somewhere.)

Woefully -- it doesn't list what's on "CD Install Me First" -- Another thing to add to my list of things to investigate at some point.

Sidenote! LC520 packing lists!

(and if anyone's interested...) I've got the Technical Information guide, and a photo or so of the system set up a zillion years ago when I got it here: http://fd.stenoweb.net/Pictures/Forms/AllItems.aspx?RootFolder=%2FPictures%2Flc520 (this link is almost certainly going to be very very slow.)

That was part of a massive (free) Mac software conquest back in 2009. I was finally able to upgrade my parents' SE SuperDrive from System 6 with that software package (I never bothered installing At Ease as I didn't have a use for it; the disks are still sealed in their original shrink-wrap).

Interesting info regarding the LC520. Perhaps we should begin a thread (or a wiki) dedicated solely to packing lists. It would be a great reference.

 
i should have a Soft named "Barricade" for pre-Os 9 somewhere.

is main goal is to supply a password protection to a Macintosh, it was bundled with several tools.
