When I was a kid we had a Mac Plus with only a floppy drive, and it
was customary that we would use a boot floppy which would create a RAM
disk, copy the system files to that, then eject the boot floppy,
allowing the drive to be used for an applications/documents floppy. I

I would highly suggest an external SCSI drive... This has worked well
for me with my Plus. You can run 6.0.8 and not worry about switching
floppies and how big it is, if it'll fit, etc. A lot of hard drives

But the center about 4 inches of screen from top to bottom is a bit

Is there a way to fix this? or do I just have a bad CRT?
Thanks, this group
