I'll save you a bit of trouble with the Guided Tour emulation. But it would be cool to see something interactive, via Flash, or to be more Apple politically correct, HTML5. How do you plan to implement this emulation, or is it just for yourself?

You can also check out this rough test site done in basic HTML gif animation of the original 128K system navigation experience. I discovered rather quickly, that while approximating the same speed as an original 128K, this method is simply not fast enough on the web to be as seamless an experience and so abandoned it.

As for the link to Eric Rasmussen's site, it is the most thoroughly researched and accurate information regarding the early Macs. You can rest assured, those items are exactly what was packaged with the original Mac.

Disk Based MacWrite did not come out until later, when everyone complained about how limited it was on a 128K. System and MW/MP as well as MW on a single disk are from later editions, after MacWrite had grown in size.

Also, why are you using the red 128K logo? That was not the original 128K Mac, but rather the Second generation 128K, which did not come out until late 1984, with a completely different logic board.
