A disk image file is like a special type of archive, containing all the data from a disk.
You can't just copy the image to the disk, you must use Apple DiskCopy to write the contents of the image file to the floppy. For 400K and 800K images, DiskCopy 4.2 usually works better. For 1.44M images, use DiskCopy 6.3.3 --- On Sat, 11/5/11, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > From: [email protected] <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: Mac Plus 1 MB > To: [email protected] > Date: Saturday, November 5, 2011, 9:31 PM > I'm not sure I understand what you > are saying. > doug > > Original Message: > ----------------- > From: Gregg Eshelman [email protected] > Date: Sat, 5 Nov 2011 19:56:26 -0700 (PDT) > To: [email protected] > Subject: ***POSSIBLE SPAM*** Re: Mac Plus 1 MB > > > --- On Sat, 11/5/11, [email protected] > <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > I tried again to put OS 6.0.8 on a > > floppy using the Classic, it still says > > that the file is too large to fit. > > The old System disks you download from Apple are disk > images.
