Posted by: Cosmo on 2013-10-08 12:29:49 Thanks for the tip, i'll image these anyway so why no upload if he accepts those. Finally upgraded the cable to 10/100M as well.
Posted by: TheMacGuy on 2013-10-08 14:27:47 Nice lot! Approximately how many are beta discs?
Posted by: Cosmo on 2013-10-08 21:05:22 Nice lot! Approximately how many are beta discs? Atleast those in pictures (7.0, 7.1), there's lots of disks with System software inside i'd say dev. versions and betas of 7.0, 7.1, 7.5 etc (also OS 8 and maybe even OS 9). I have not had time yet to go thru them. I'll check them thru when time permits at evenings. I'll list, image the disks and upload what max1zzz do not have there so there'll be available there at some point. I won't scan the covers or labels however.. 😛
Posted by: Cosmo on 2013-10-09 11:22:08 Those earlier 1990's disk covers (1992-1993) are really funny! I need to scan some later they are just so cool. There were also OS 8 stuff there as well all imagineable Apple products inc. Pippin and Newton. Made an list of them. Will try to start making disk images when time permits.

Posted by: Paralel on 2013-10-09 13:48:17 Wow, that is an awesome collection. I bet there is lots of interesting material on there.
Posted by: Cosmo on 2013-10-13 11:07:22 I just had to post few shots (cellphone) of the box covers. Wow, Apple used to have sense of humour back in early 1990's with the designs! Gotta love these.
Posted by: Cosmo on 2013-10-13 11:09:34 ..and few more
Posted by: Cosmo on 2013-10-13 11:13:48 It's a real pain to try make images of the Service Source -batch of CD's. Those are soooo scratchy. If nothing else helps, i'll save the individual files out of there what is readable. If my systems fail at work, i'll try old/er desktop PC at work.
Posted by: max1zzz on 2013-10-13 11:27:28 I just love the disc covers from the dev cd's 😉 As for imaging scratchy disks, you could try using some brasso to take the scratches out, that has worked for me before
Posted by: wthww on 2013-10-13 12:12:22 This is a truly awesome fine. Congrats, Cosmo! You might take 'em to a gamestop or family video and have them resurface the CDs. Most have that machine these days. Also, just a friendly reminder. No warez on the forums; however, a PM never hurt anyways. //wthww
Posted by: Cosmo on 2013-10-13 13:03:54 Thanks for the tips everybody. Imaging the disks always for my own personal backup needs.
Posted by: Paralel on 2013-10-13 14:23:15 Beautiful artwork on some of those disks. No one really bothers to do stuff like that any longer.
Posted by: Cosmo on 2013-10-23 20:57:47 Bought an OSX 10.1 Puma in retail box for 10€, even per say, i'm not collector of original software but i am sucker for good-old-boxed software boxes if the price is right. Now i kind of need other OSX versions boxed too. Only have actually, if my memory serves me right, 10.3, 10.4 (server?), 10.5 retail box before, all others are cd/dvd's that came with the machine itself. Includes everything as of: -Mac OS X 10.1 (1Z691-3168-A) -Mac OS X Developer Tools 10.1 (691-3169) -Mac OS 9.2.1 Update CD (1Z691-3283-A) And also including: Mac OS X 10.1 Upgrade CD (1Z691-3184-A) extra upgrade cd from 10.0 to 10.1
Posted by: Cosmo on 2013-11-03 10:19:07 All disks (expect those Mac OS 8 SDK disks) are imaged for safe keeping. Need to take them after i check all images work, to basement. Actually, only 1 disk refused to be read in full, "Apple Computer May 1994". I tried toothpaste, polishing etc but no dice. I guess i can live without that :lol: Speaking of making disk images, i need to clean up and adjust those DISK ][ drives and if i'm lucky, some 5.25" disks i was given, could be saved up.
Posted by: Cosmo on 2013-11-11 11:55:51 Speaking of making disk images, i need to clean up and adjust those DISK ][ drives and if i'm lucky, some 5.25" disks i was given, could be saved up. Finally got it! Oh man i feel stuped for not thinking of this.. The disks that came with the Apple ][+ (board: 8011) were written with DOS 3.2 (there even were one original disk DOS 3.2 among them!) with 13 Sector size.. DOS 3.2 - 16. Feb.1979- DOS 3.2.1 - 31. July 1979 DOS 3.3 - 25. August 1980 So i booted up the DOS 3.3 and booted the 13 sector disk with Boot13, and voi'la. It booted up just fine.. so now can back those floppies up! 😱)
Posted by: Cosmo on 2013-12-10 22:47:13 Picked an book for few euro's with 3.5" disk - *Macintosh Repair & Upgrade Secrets* (1991, Hayden Books, 360pages)
Posted by: mcdermd on 2013-12-11 09:11:03 Ah, the first Larry Pina book. The disk should have the test patterns for adjusting the CRT properly. It's an amazing resource along with his second book, the Dead Mac Scrolls.
Posted by: Cosmo on 2013-12-15 12:44:17 Picked an another book, an ex library book, for few euros, Business in Action: APPLE - macintosh - the computer that changed everything Printed 1997 by William Gould, in English, 98 pages about the history of Apple and the products.
Posted by: snuci on 2013-12-15 14:27:19 Picked an book for few euro's with 3.5" disk - *Macintosh Repair & Upgrade Secrets* (1991, Hayden Books, 360pages) I picked up a copy of this book from Amazon about a year ago. I bought the cheapest used one available. It was described as not having the disk (I still don't have it) and it had writing in it. As long as all the pages were in it I didn't care. When I got it I didn't notice any writing in the sections I was reading at the time (the Apple Lisa parts) and it looked to be in good shape. A few months ago I started reading the Mac parts and found the writing. It was on the second page with an inscription to someone named Pete. Larry Pina had written him a note and signed it in 1997 🙂 A treasured yet working copy still.
Posted by: finkmac on 2013-12-15 20:59:44 Toronto Public Library has a copy of this book, it has a few nice pictures of some prototypes… Note the trackball on the cover.
