It has apple ][ software too plus the final updates to A/UX. There wasn't room for the full A/UX system but there was for apple /// software, of which none is on the disc. I don't think any Lisa/Mac XL software is on it either.
To make the floppies from the disk images you'll need a Mac with a working 1.44M floppy drive or a PC running an emulator like Basilisk II or Sheep Shaver. Depending on what CD image you find it may be mountable on the desktop of your Mac, mountable in an emulator as a drive or will have to be burned to a CD-R then used in a CD drive. Apple made that CD in the late 1990's. Its label is white with black Apple logo and lettering and a wide, green bar across the middle. Around the same time Apple released a disc set containing all their operating systems 7.5 through 8.6 and software. The first version of Final Cut Pro is on the software CD, the others are operating systems divided up by 68K, Pre-G3 PowerMac and G3 PowerMac. Those discs have a light blue label with white Apple logo and lettering. All those discs are hard to find ~15 years since their release, supposed to be only for authorized Apple service persons but some people managed to order extra sets and some ended up on eBay. The five discs will have you all set for any apple ][ or Macintosh made in the 20th Century. -- -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
