Thanks, Anonymous. Would you make a set for me. I'll handle shipping if you want, and return the disks for your use.
The System 7.0X software on Apple's site were imaged using Diskcopy 6.0X, and this requires System 7 to run. Kind of a Catch-22. I tried working in Mini vMac emulator, but could get my Plus to recognize the image. I even tried eBay, but no luck.

Your help will be greatly appreciated. Tanks.
I've got the set all ready. Give me a mailing address, and I'll get them on their way.

Oh, and Disk Copy 6.3.3 is perfectly happy to read and write disk images to and from any Mac floppy. I have successfully read and written a 400 KB MFS disk using 6.3.3 on a beige G3 running Mac OS 9.2.2. (Even though Mac OS 9 can't natively read 400K disks!) Disk Copy makes the image, then spits the disk out. If you try to MOUNT the resulting disk image in OS 9, it fails, though. But a disk written that way mounts just fine on my System 6 machine.

Of course, if all you have is the 128k and the Plus, that doesn't really help you. :p
