I’m looking at some 3.5” floppies from about 1995, so
probably about the time I got my first Mac.
Am I correct that System 7 used A:\RESOURCE.FRK\DESKTOP as the Resource Fork data? MacOS
12.5 doesn’t appear to use it. :-)
A bunch of the floppies I’m looking at have this, including ones that appear to be PC
Backups.
That sounds like a floppy disk written by PC Exchange. RESOURCE.FRK would
contain any resource fork for any file in that folder, so at the root
\RESOURCE.FRK\DESKTOP would probably have been the equivalent of the Desktop
folder.
