All the "system" disks I've been able to find are self-extracting
Macintosh archives, which have a Classic compression engine that I
can't decompress on my MacBook. I do have an old grape iMac sitting up
in the attic, but don't have the energy to lug it down just now :) So
I'd appreciate a disk image from the original installers; I'll email
you.

(Also after I finish rounding out my collection of Laser and IIe/IIc
hardware, I will be getting a GS, so the disk will come in useful
later).

Assuming I was sitting in BASIC with DOS loaded, how do I access a
second drive?
