SE/30 boot floppy

sdsvtdriver · Mar 25, 2012, 02:20 AM

I have an old SE/30. The HD is toast and I'm not comfortable opening up the case with the high voltage issues to replace the HD. I have a bunch of old disks including system 7, etc.

I'd like to put together a disk that it would boot off of and run some type of 'demo' or something for when people come over. Anyone have any suggestions or links to disk images that were used "back in the day"?

How about the SE/30 tour?

EDIT: I can't get the above .image file to work here but I suspect it will work with DiskCopy 4.2

DiskCopy 4.2 won't startup without a Mac with an internal floppy drive so I can't test this as yet.
