British System 7.0.1 utility disk

Recipe for Mini vMac


Quick Summary

Install British Macintosh System 7.0.1 on a blank disk image, and then add the utilities ImportFl, binUnpk, and ExportFl.

This is useful for opening images in ".smi.bin" format (Self Mounting Images encoded in Macbinary). For some reason these images work in British 7.0.1, but not in North American 7.0.1, at least on a Macintosh Plus.

Ingredients

The 7 images from the "British System 7.0.1 install images recipe". (Actually only four are used: Install 1, Install 2, Tidbits, and Fonts.)

The "Blanks" collection.

The "Sys6Util.dsk" disk image file, from the "System 6 utility disk recipe". (For a quick way to get a copy of ImportFl, binUnpk, and ExportFl.)
