Thanks for this info - I had never seen it anywhere.
The "A Guided Tour of the Macintosh" diskette that I have is labeled 690 5002-C. Unfortunately, this indicates that it won't have the beta version of the system that is on diskette version "A", which is what I was really looking for.
When booting from my guided tour diskette (version "C") here is what DOES work:
- Mousing Around
- Let me use my Macintosh! (see below)
- I'm Ready to Stop! (which ejects and reboots the mac)
When selecting any of the following, I get a message "There are some files missing form this training disk which make it impossible to use." and only an "OK" button to click. Clicking "OK" ejects the diskette and causes a reboot:
- Show Me my Electronic Desk!
- What's the Finder!
- Why do I have Windows?
- What Else is in the Menus? (this one actually causes the mouse to freeze, and I have to choose "OK" by pressing Return on the keyboard)
- Time to Play the Maze!
-
So, choosing "Let me use my Macintosh!" actually DOES work, and it takes me to the desktop. Interestingly, the last menu in Finder is called "Training", and has only the single menu selection of "Quit" - choosing this relaunces the tour. Choosing "About the Finder" reports a 1984 copyright and Version 1.1h.
Is Version 1.1h the correct version for the "C" flavor of the Guided Tour diskette? There are some files on the diskette that don't seem to belong there, like Notes, Clipboard File, Note Pad File, etc. What is confusing is that I don't know that is missing that keeps the tour from working.
I can play "Amazing", but only if I boot from another system floppy.
So, I'm stull hunting for a way to find a physical copy of the original 690 5002-A version of the Guided Tour diskette....
Thanks, all, for your help.
