Wow - transferring stuff from my classic to my PC via floppies is not fun...
Anyway, I dug out my original WWIV BBS Disks and they are still readable! I used DiskCopy to create images of them and then transfered them via floppy to my PC. If anyones interested they can download them from the following links for the next few days (dont worry, the URL is not dodgey - its a long story ;-) ).

The images themselves can be loaded directly into an emulator like Mini vMac, they are 800k disk images.
Having a bit of a browse, they contain the stuffit archives that are needed to install the WWIV version 3 BBS software. According to the readme, this will indeed run on a 512k mac (and implies 64k ROMs).
I'm not sure how you would get these DiskCopy images to work on a real Mac again - its been a long time, but I'm sure this transfer will have messed up their resource fork? I have a vague recollection that I should have stuff'd them on the mac after creating the disk images, and then stuffit on a real mac would have been able to handle it?
Anyway, might be some use to someone.
Cheers,
