While archiving some disks onto CD-R, I came upon the following disks which I thought might be interesting to other Mac veterans. I have limited my scans to 400k/800k disks, since I am in the process of getting rid of them. Don't throw them in the trash! Make a difference in education - send your old diskettes to Floppies for Kiddies.

Most of the disks are scanned as 300 dpi PICTs and reduced to 80-dpi JPEG format in Photoshop. If anyone still has original disks of old-time Macintosh programs (1990 or earlier), I will post them here. Please send them to me via email (remove all the capital letters) with the software title as the Subject:. Dates at the bottom of each disk indicate when it was posted online.

December 2000 Update: Thanks to the many visitors of this page, I have gotten enough disk images that I have created subsections for the various scans I have received. I have also sorted the disks in reverse chronological order. Thanks to those who have contributed and keep them coming!

January 2004 Update: The near-worthless assets of the long-defunct BMUG user group were scavenged at this years Macworld Expo. I found three disks worthy of Old-Tyme status. They are in the Applications category below.

January 2005 Update: Owen Strawn has provided a large number of scanned disks, more than doubling the collection on this site. Of note are the famous Buick Dimensions Hypercard-based demos.

I hope you enjoy this trip through the 1980's, when the best personal computer to date started out (and is still going strong) on its tumultuous and interesting career.
