| Oldest System version? |
Posted by: MrMacPlus on 2008-09-21 14:18:34
What is the oldest system version that is even possible to find now, I have .85 already. I just want to see some prototype system software.

"0.85" is the oldest "Macintosh System Software" that I have ever hear was ever possible to find.
If you want older, you'd have to go back to Lisa.

If you want to see prerelease system software, best of luck finding it. You might have some luck tracking down and emailing some of the members of the original Mac team, but whether they still have the software, AND want to share is highly doubtful.

Yeah I want prerelease (i.e beta or even alpha) system software. Does anyone here have some original Mac team emails? It's worth a shot IMO.

Oldest version I have on disk is 1.1g. But yes, .85 from the Mac Tour disk seems to be the oldest out there.
A lot of the earlier Mac systems are probably long gone. You don't always think about saving things for the future, unfortunately.

What disk is that called? I always wanted to play with the disk that Steve demoed the mac with, the one that talked, etc.

I got a letter from Andy Hertzfeld and he said that he had that disk but misplaced them many years ago. (If you ask me, I believe they are stil somewhere around his place)

If you could make disk images and upload them, I'm sure it would be well-appreciated.

Always interesting to see, how John Sculley was involved in the early days at Apple. Cupertino really did everything to get him over and I bet that these bouncing Pepsis were some sort of tribute after he left PepsiCo. Anyway, in these days he was heavily involved with the "Macintosh" and friendship to Jobs was still at it´s best...

Uh, if you read the posts no one claimed to have these disks or their images.

Prolly not the best way to start in a forum. but anyway, I'm pretty sure if you go through Jag's shareware pack you'll find pepsi caps.
