Mac OS X complete collection
Posted by: superpantoufle on 2010-02-16 13:35:41
Hi all,

Last week was christmas all over again for me! It cost me some money, but I found a big OS X haul on a local auction site:

- Mac OS X Server 1.0 (boxed)

- Mac OS X DP3 (original CD)

- Mac OS X DP4 (original CD)

- Mac OS X Public Beta (original CD)

- Mac OS X 10.0 Cheetah (boxed)

- Mac OS X 10.1 Puma (boxed)

- Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar (boxed)

I do own boxes of 10.3, 10.5 and 10.6. Now I only miss a boxed 10.4 Tiger for a complete OS X collection!

I spent a night installing those seven OS X "vintage" versions from Server 1.0 to Jaguar on my B&W G3. So cool, so many memories from the early OS X days, nearly ten years ago. It was the first time I played with Rhapsody, and I kinda like a lot the mixed classic feeling of the UI. It was also the first time I saw the first "square" iteration of the Dock in DP3. That was bad! 😎

So cool!

Ok, you'll always find people who do have more than you do… Greener grass, they say? 😎

AFAIK, DP1 and DP2 never made it on CD to mainstream developpers. Or did they? I remember seeing a slide in a Steve Jobs' keynote on yYouTube where he showed the roadmap to OS X during the Mac OS X Server 1.0 introduction. So it happened somewhere in 1999, before the developper previews, and it already showed DP3 and DP4 to be release soon, and a public beta release a litte bit later. So my bet is the slide was correct, if only a little bit optimistic in the dates indicated!

Nice find! I would love that Mac OS X Server 1.0 (Rhapsody) disk. I can't seem to find those anywhere.

I need to score a complete set of OS X install discs soon. I have every version of Mac OS from 7.5-9.2.1 and am starting to bring some OS X capable machines back to life and have no OS X discs at all.
