I vote for infinitemac.org It’s cute, it’s small and it fits in our pocket. 💰 Plus, people have been slowly getting used to the Infinite Mac brand name for almost a year now so the community already easily recognizes and trusts this name.

@that-ben and anyone else following this bug: https://infinitemac.org now has all releases through 6.0.8. Let me know if I missed any and/or anything notable in the release highlights.

Hi Mihai, alas, the reason for the modified/patched System 1.0 disk images that are lying around on the internet is because the only actual physical copies that have both been found and archived were corrupted. Most sites are now hosting the same “modified” System 1.0 as an almost perfect substitute, but it’s not museum perfect. TBH, I think most users will never really know the difference…

Gahh, I wasn’t able to catch your message on time, would have loved to help you out. Yes, 1.4MB is kind of a lot for the original 128K considering it only came with 400KB floppies, but I’m wondering why not use a 20MB MFS image instead of only 1.4MB? I mean, why 1.4MB specifically? The 128K did not even support 1.4MB floppies (so it must be seeing it as a hard drive I suppose?)

EDIT: In hindsight, perhaps you want to keep it closer to the original environment and not have an INIT (extension) loaded at startup just so we can get a 20MB HDD mounted on the desktop. If that’s the case, then at least, we could get a 2.5MB HDD image mounted 100% natively on the 128K environment without any INIT or anything additional at all. Here is a demo 2.5MB MFS HDD image if you want to zero it out and use it. Seems to work just fine on the 128K Mini vMac environment… though my game does not 😛 (because of the sound library, requires System 3 or newer, I think) https://www.macintoshrepository.org/files/direct/2.5MB-MFS-HDD.dsk.zip

The bit at 1:50 in the demo video is hilarious! I never read that before and this caught me by surprise wow! Looks like you realized Jason’s dream!

I’m guessing that’s due to the confusion between System Software releases and System versions – System Software 2.0 shipped with System 4.0.
