Cache of old Macintosh 128k disks from 1983 with prototype software

Posted by: iwakurarein on 2019-11-18 18:01:08 http://macintoshgarden.org/users/iwakurarein Hello, I simply wanted to inform this community of what I have acquired and managed to rescue from around 20 failing MFS-formatted 400 kilobyte floppy diskettes that I got with a Macintosh SE purchased locally. Many have long-lost development software, some with datestamps from 1983. (The oldest was October '83 on a development version of Macintosh Pascal). The disk images are available for download at the link provided, as well as plenty of information on the contents of each on the release pages on Macintosh Garden. If anyone wants to download the images, curate them, and mirror them all in an archive for the community here to inspect, you have my permission to. (I would like them available elsewhere online, in case that site ceases to exist.) If anyone wants to pass them along to the right people to validate/inspect their authenticity, at archive.org's emulation project for example, that would be great. I wanted to inform this community of the existence and archival of what I have. Due to health problems, real life, time and money invested in this already, using many other forums already, and so on, I will probably not be checking back here. Any further communication should be done via the contact form on my profile on Macintosh Garden. Thank you. -Lain
