Well I know they need a 400k disks and have to use an old Mac to make the disks becuse new Macs don't read 400k disks, drop me an e-mail if you Need a Disk of System 1.1 on 400k Disks.
I can definately use boot disk for my 128k. I need to check the disk I'm using to boot my Plus and see if it is 400k floppy or not. I know I tried it in the 128k and it wouldn't boot. It may be that it just doesn't work anymore, but it does boot up to the sad Mac icon. I'm assuming if it gets that far that it will boot with the proper disk as long as the floppy drive is OK.
I have a lot of other floppy disks that came with the 128k with various games and stuff. But I don't know how I could get an OS that I download on a floppy.
Also, the 6.0.8 OS looks like it is for 800k disks. So it will not work for a 128k?

Well I'm not sure if the 128k can read 800k with out a new upgrade of a disk drive. I will be more then happy to help you out I sell a set that has MacPaint and MacWrite aswell as Mac OS 1.1. If you are looking for OS 6.X I'll look into that.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Well I don't think I can help as far as a newer os but for the disks, whatever you think is fair + Shipping, I'm flexable.
