There were machine-specific installs before, but no enablers. And Scott makes the point that there was *no other machine* to run a system on in 0.97 or similar times. I think the clue is rather in what Rob says about his 128k wanting a not-HFS disk (read MFS) to boot from. I'm sure Gamba or Jeff can jump in on this one, as I am just playing around with my newly-acquired Plus and do know anything pre-SE only from hearsay.
Philip: SCSI interfaces begin with the Plus, so you won't have a chance to use a SCSI drive with a 128k. The external HD 20 case for the serial port did not accept SCSI drives, only the HD 20 SC did.
