This
is an original Macintosh operating system. They didn't use installers
back in those days. The operating system came on a 400k diskette,
ready to use, with an audio cassette to provide instructions. The
sets were supplied with Macintosh computers many years ago, when Macintosh
computers first became available. Regarding the space available as
shown in the picture of the disk window, a brief explanation is appropriate.
I couldn't open the 400k diskette on my Power Macintosh G3 Tower so I opened
it on a Macintosh Classic. I didn't know how to make a picture of
the disk window on the Macintosh Classic, so I made an 800k disk image
on the Macintosh Classic. I made the disk image an 800k disk image
instead of a 400k disk image to that I'd be able to open it on the G3 Tower.
I transferred the 800k disk image to the G3 Tower, opened it, and made
the picture. That's why the picture shows 490k still available even
though it's only a 400k diskette. The picture was made from the 800k
disk image, not from the actual 400k diskette.
I've provided three disk images. Two of them are 400 K disk images
and one of them is an 800 K disk image.
It takes a very old computer to mount a 400 K disk image. I was
able to mount both of the 400 K disk images using an old Mac Classic, running
System 7.0.1. Each of the disk images required a different version
of Disk Copy. Here are the versions of Disk Copy that I used for
each of the versions of the 400 K disk images. I encountered occasional
error messages during the processes but the processes worked and the images
were mounted successfully.
Guided Tour.image (400 K disk image)
I mounted this disk image using MountImage 1.1b3, which came with Disk
Copy 4.2.
Guided_Tour_Mac_400K.img (400 K disk image)
I mounted this disk image using Disk Copy 6.1.3.
You should be able to mount the 800 K disk image using whatever version
of Disk Copy will run on your computer .
When you download the stuffed archive, you'll probably get error messages
regarding the 400 K image files. Send the stuffed archive through
your local network, or transfer it on a diskette, to a computer that's
old enough to recognize Macintosh File Structure (MFS) and unstuff it there.
