Hello, this list. I've just custom-installed System 6.0.8 after a few years of using OS 7.1 on my 4/40 Classic, and have a few comments and questions.
First comment: One tryout of System 6 and you know that it, not 7, is really the optimum OS for the Classic, even if the contents of the system folder, compared to 7's, do look like a dog's breakfast. First question. I chose the standard (not the minimal) Classic install, and am wondering if that is the reason that the File menu command "Put away" isn't working -- it's always grayed out when I have a selected floppy in the floppy drive. Does "Put away" only work with the full all-Macs install of System 6.0.8? Or maybe my copy of the OS is corrupt. But it's the usual download from Apple's website of older software, from which I made floppies with Disk Copy 6.3.3 (on my PowerMac G3, that is, and subsequently transferred to the Classic), and there was no problem with the installation itself. Hardly a problem, because I can still drag floppies to the trash to put them away (and the Eject command works okay), but I do sort of feel shortchanged on the full meal deal... Has anyone seen anything like this before?
