Well, this is Macintosh after all...

I'm sure there were cloning (even resizing) apps back in the day.  But with drives of differing sizes, it's really just as simple as dragging the contents of one disk and dropping it on another.  The System folder will get "blessed" (become bootable, in Mac parlance) just by double-clicking on it.  An added benefit is that your "clone" drive's contents are defragmented in the process.

Asheville is a lovely part of the state - especially come fall.  I'm in the Raleigh/Durham area.

Wow, I didn't realize the early Mac OS had an elegant file management system. 
The SE is awaiting delivery hence all the questions. I was expecting a more difficult process.

Thank you for the help.
