Sometimes its not about the hardware!! An auction sat on eBay for a long, long time for four non-readable floppies. Decided to buy them after a couple price drops. Odds are they were no good. But just to frame them would be neat.

Well I got one to mount. Labeled "Macintosh Master #1" and mounted as "Mac Stuff 2". The Mac Plus would not mount any of them. The 128k upgraded did mount only this one. I booted into System 6 from an external Apple 20.

I tried to copy, as backups, to the external hard drive but ran into some data rot of the critical files - system, finder, xMacsBug and a few others. But some apps copied fine. Life, Clock, etc. I will be truing a few other Macs and drives since I know hoe fussy and erratic old floppy drives can be.

So here are some images. And a vid link to the Clock application - an application I could not exit! Had to reboot her.
