Re: GS to write Mac 800k disks



Okay, I am not crazy.  I checked it and you CAN use Shrinkit on the IIgs to
shrink HFS disks.

Here is how I checked it:
    First I made a HFS disk using GSOS.
    Then I used Shrinkit to create a disk image.
    Finally I used Shrinkit to make a new disk from the image.

Results:
    The original disk is identical to the second disk.  IIgs recognizes
them both as HFS volumes with identical names!

Okay, why did you do this?
    I need system disks for the Mac SE with 800k drives.  It was also a
challenge.

The point?
    Could someone be so kind as to create disk images of the four 800k
disks for the Mac of system 6.0.8?
    This will provide a way for not only me, but other crazies attempting
this bizaar, but fun project.

How could someone do this?
    I do not know if there is a way to make a Shrinkit image on the Mac.
However, if someone has a IIgs and the Mac system 6.0.8 disks then they
only need to run Shrinkit to make the images.  I know I am asking for time,
but I will make them available on my website for anyone else who needs
them.  Thanks.
