GS/OS boot disks & 32 meg collections
The fastest way onto a IIGS, real or emulated: bootable GS/OS hard drive images with every tool and font the software expects, plus 32 meg ProDOS volumes with as much hard-drive-installable software as would fit, pre-installed and organised by genre. Hand-built and maintained since the days these were the only way to fill a hard drive. Sizes shown are the zip downloads; each unpacks to a full 32 meg (or 13 meg) volume. Every volume has a complete file listing, and about 738 programs here exist only on these volumes, with no individual download anywhere.
Start with one of these. System 6.0.1 is the install almost everything expects; the Taifun volume boots any OS version from a single disk · 5 items
Whole genres on one volume, pre-installed. Mount alongside a boot system and everything just runs. Click a disk for the full file listing and the download · 21 items
