You may have seen these lists other places - commonly refereed to "Awesome Lists" - meaning a curated list of links for a specific topic. eg: https://github.com/alnacle/awesome-emulators
One of the most difficult things for a new vintage user to do is get a set of OS installers they need in the format their device requires. Say you have a FloppyEMU and need disk copy 4.2 images (in a archive format you can extract on your modern machine), or a bootable ISO, Toast/ISO/dmg, or a language variant, 800k version for a early SE, etc. This also might help build find and fill in gaps for installers/formats. Using this thread as a planning area and will move the content to a resource once we get a good list of content. Another thing we could do is build a "System Software" Banner for the garden so we can easily jump between all OS versions. machut is a great place to start - though they're all in .sit.hqx so you must extract them first in an emulator before using. This list is just a starting point for the installers/files. System Sets (CD/DVD)
Bootable Floppy Disk Images
Pre System 6
System 6
System 7
Mac A/UX
Mac OS 8
Mac OS 9

Great idea, @eric! [idea]:)
AUX 1.1 was discussed at the aux-penelope site. However, I still cannot find that version. I noticed a couple of system enablers and a patch to run MacOS 8 on 030 at this themacarchive site. That site has images of various utilities and other software that folks may need to find quickly. |

Here are some fun betas!
Snow Leopard Pre-releases, including those that run on PPC Cancelled Mac OS 8 "Copland" Build D7E1 Copland Build D9 Lastly, two different Garden listings for seemingly similar Copland builds. Not sure what the difference is, but here they are: #1 #2 I can also add this list (when finished) to my website as another source if people would like that :) |
