I have a Macintosh ("128K") and I have been having some serious problems
making boot disks for it.I have used Macs for quite a few years and have worked extensively with System 7 and know my way around Disk Copy and etc but these 400K boot disks just aren't working. I use a Mac SE with Disk Copy 4.2 to write a "Disk Tools" image file (or something similar) to a floppy and then try to boot the Macintosh with it and it spits it back out and returns to the "?" Disk icon. When I first got the machine it came with boot disks and one of them will boot the system and it runs but I need to be able to make other disks. I look at the disk that the 128 rejected and it does in fact contain a "blessed" system folder and it is a 400K disk. I am confused as to exactly why its not working. I have an Apple 20HD (floppy port, not SCSI) on the way and I want to be able to put software on that drive and use it but I worry about the same general problems. It turns out that this Mac did have a RAM upgrade and from looking at the logic board (and in the Finder) it is reporting 512K RAM. Can I get System 6 to run on it? If I go with an older OS how do I get the disks made? Thanks! Matt -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
