A Guided Tour of MacintoshThis 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.
