Software for Macintosh 128k

Macintosh 128k-512k 400k disk images and software!

This page is dedicated to software that will run on the earliest Macintosh computers, the 128k and 512k.  All the software below has been tested on a Mac 512k with 400k floppy drive, running System 2.0 and Finder 4.1.  The zip files below contain .dsk images that will run in the Mini vMac emulator.  See my Mini vMac download page.

There are several methods you can use to get these disk images onto physical disks:

1. You can use a bridge machine, i.e. an old Macintosh that can connect to a network and has a floppy drive for creating disks from images.
   
2. Serial transfer using Mini vMac to mount the .dsk images, and then package files in a BinHex or Packit archive.  See the Serial cable file transfer, pc to Macintosh 128k/512k for more info on serial transfers.
   
3. You can use the Floppy Emu Macintosh floppy emulator.  See the Floppy Emu website for details.  I have one of these they are great.

While there are dozens of applications for the original Macintosh on the web, I've been selective with the software below.  I've selected the best quality software that is out there.
