Apple Macintosh software sold for System 6 and below
Posted by: atommclain on 2022-11-16 20:27:43
Curious if we can come up with a list of Apple Macintosh software that was available for purchase at some point. Off the top of my head:
  • HyperCard
  • Macintosh 68000 Development System
  • MacDraw
  • MacPaint
  • MacProject
  • MacTerminal
  • MacWorks XL (debatable)
  • MacWrite
  • System Software
  • Switcher?
  • Through the Looking Glass
What's missing?

AppleShare File Server
LaserShare
AppleShare Print Server
Apple Inter.Poll
System Software Update 5.0
System Software Update 6.0

Of course there's also Apple A/UX, but that wasn't for System 6, it was its own OS.

This will be an extremely long list...

I'm guessing OP means what was sold at retail, and for System 6 and prior, and by Apple only.

Yeah, sorry if that wasn't clear.

Oh. Ohhhhh.

I probably should have worked that out!

Download the Apple Legacy Software Recovery CD image from the Macintosh garden and you'll get a good idea of their products.

Another idea is to search the aforementioned site with Author = Apple.

There was also:

AppleTalk Internet Router

Dated 1989, so it should be System 6 compatible.
