About

The Mac System Software 1.0 1983-07-05 build was found on a Sony 3.5 inch floppy disk and is dated 5 July 1983. The GUI is called Flounder 4.4. It has a picture of a Twiggy disk instead of a Sony disk for the background. The disk is supposedly called Mac 16D0 by the text at the top of the floppy disk. There are 3 programs on this disk that work and they are Disk Duplicator, Format-Copy Utilities, and a program called sonytest. Format-Copy Utilities has 3 different versions. It also has a tendency to crash and also an even more tendency to crash when the user clicks on "Finder" in the crash dialog box. It is the earliest available build of macOS so far.
