I've just spent the day resurrecting an original 128k Mac, replaced the analogue board and CRT with bits from a Mac Plus, dishwashered the motherboard, and carefully cleaned the 400k floppy drive. Only thing I needed was to get a suitable system disk.
Connected to the 'net using my Mystic converted Colour Classic and, using the links from Gamba's website, downloaded "System 2.0 - Finder1.1.sea.sit", run this through StuffIt Expander 4.5 and get a folder of 429k. In the folder are two files "Disk201.dsk" and "vMac Screen 2.0", 413k and 17k respectively.
Disk Copy 4.2 doesn't know what to do with it, and neither does StuffIt.
I transferred the file to my SE on an 800k floppy, thinking that the file might be smaller on a smaller hard disk and there might be something on the SE that would respond to my double-clicking the "Disk201.dsk" file - no joy.
Any suggestions? I'm wondering if it is some sort of disk image file for use with vMac so you can run System 2.0 with Finder 1.1 in emulation under System 9 or X - hence the vMac screen?
Jim
Although it comes up in reference attached to either OS/2 or Amiga, Disk201.dsk isn't needed for your 128, just discard it.
As for vMac screen? IT's part of OSX. It, too can be discarded.
Jeff
Its a image file, it can be used with vmac and therefore the contents could be copied to a floppy and used from there.
.dsk is also a appleII image format among others.
It is *not* a amiga format. It may or may not be something to do with OS/2, plonk.
Have you ever run vmac on anything Jeff?
