Making a CopyRoms boot disk

#1 Sun, 26 Jan 2014 - 16:41

I'm trying to make a boot disk with CopyRoms on it so I can get the ROM from my Macintosh Plus. Immediately after making the disk with Disk Copy it boots in the Plus no problem. But as soon as I mount in the finder on OS 9.1 to put the copyroms program on there, the plus refuses to but from it even tho it just booted from the exact same disk no problem. I don't understand why this is happening.

Could OS 9.1 be putting invisible files on the disk?

I figured it out. It turns out OS 8 and newer automatically unblesses the system folder on System 6 disks. I found on program called FixSix but I couldn't figure out how to use it. So I booted the plus from my 6.0.3 disk, ejected the 6.0.3 disk and put in the CopyRoms disk. Then I simply opened and closed the system folder on the CopyRoms disk, which blessed the folder. Restarted the Plus with the CopyRoms disk and now it booted from it just fine. I was finally able to get the ROM from my Macintosh Plus.
