Making an 800K boot disk is easy if you have something like a Mac II or
Quadra lying around. Just use Disk Copy to make a floppy from the image. I
got it to work on a Power Macintosh 6100, but some people have had problems
making 800K disks with Power Macs.
I have images for System 0.97/Finder 1.0 through about System 6.0.1/Finder
6.1. But you'll need System 3.0/Finder 5.0 or higher for SCSI support, I
think. But System 3 didn't become stable until System 3.2/Finder 5.3. I
would recommend System 6.0.8, the last release of System 6. Although I've
used 7.0 on a Plus without any problems, but you need 2 megs of RAM for
System 7.
Do you have a system you could use to make a floppy with?

Hi all,
I've got a Mac Plus I got of Ebay some time ago. Anyone any idea how I
can (legally) obtain an OS for it? I'd like to add a HDD to it; I've an
old 600Mb in an external box lying around, am I going to be able to use
this (even if I only get a 20/40/80Mb partition on it I'm a happy
chicken.).
