That's right. My major problems are as follow:
* Not enough RAM to store a disk image in a RAMdisk to write it using a GS
based utility
* My Mac Classic has the ability to write the 800k disks but the only
software I have for doing so is Disk Copy. And I have found no compatible
images.
I have also been unable to find another program that will work with System 6
(on the mac).
* Java.

I think GMail sent it to the brothel of SPAM. I'll have a look for it.
