Nope, can't do that. It's one big image cut into pieces small enough to fit on floppies. I dunno if it's possible to mount the big image from floppies and have it request each part as needed. I never tried and it would be horribly slow. > You may be able to burn it to a CD and boot that but is only a guess on > my part. Yup, the contents of the image, once mounted, can be copied out then put on a Zip disk or other such media. The mounted image can also be burned to a CD-R with Toast, Nero MAX and other programs that can burn directly from a mounted image. If you really need genuine floppy disk images of System versions not available as such to download, or System versions not available to download at all, find the Apple Legacy CD-ROM. It's white with a wide, dark green, horizontal stripe. It's bootable and has System 1.0 through Mac OS 8.1, including actual floppy images for all versions that originally came that way, *updates* for A/UX, a ton of apple ][ software (for the apple //e card for LC Macs), Lisa and Mac XL software, utilities and drivers and more stuff. What it does not have is any apple /// software. Another one to look for is Apple Legacy CD 2000 V 1.0. LGXAPL-SRF0128 Unlike the older Legacy disc all this has is System 7.5.3, the 7.5.5 update, OpenTransport/PPP 1.0.1, OpenTransport 1.1.2, and two Disk Tools images, one for 68K with SCSI hard drive and one for 68K with IDE hard drive. It has the installers and floppy disc images with scripts to make them. Yup, real disk images for 7.5.3 instead of the 19 or 20 part SMI which is all Apple has made available to download. It boots to 7.6.1 from a 'hidden' System Folder that has a blank name and no icon at all. (File that under 'Stupid Mac Tricks' if you can figure out how to duplicate it with a normal System Folder on a real Mac or emulator image.) There's just over 100 megs on it but for some reason Apple mastered it from a full CD-ROM sized image so it has tons of "empty" space. -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
