I have a Mac 128 and I want to duplicate the system

question, but how do you make a copy of a disk on that computer (single internal
disk drive.) Needless to say, I am not a Mac person. Thanks!
Just copy it as you normally would: Format a 2nd disk, then copy one
disk onto the other (if memory serves, it's been a long long time).
The one thing I do know for sure is that you will swap disks no less
than 20 times making the copy. After Finder is loaded, there's about
40K free on a 128K system. That's 10 operations of "read
chunk"->"write
chunk" right there. So be patient; the machine is not intentionally
torturing you.
