Macintosh 512k system diskette

[pete1229]

My brother just pulled out his vintage Mac 512k which is still in perfect working condition except for the fact that the the original system, a 3.5" floppy disk is missing so we cannot boot it up. These were very different 3.5's back then and apple had a proprietary disk drive in them. Something about a 400k drive. Does anyone know where we could get our hands on one of these disks? The 512 had no hd, only ram and you had to install the OS every time you powered up using one of these disks. I did find one on eBay but the person wanted 50 bucks Canadian plus 20 to ship. We are not that committed to this project!

Do you have a newer, older Mac?

Thanks for the link. I don't have access to one but I'll ask around, my niec may have access at the computer lab at her school.
