System Software (0-6) System 1.x
In 1984 Apple Computer unveiled their Macintosh. It included a new user interface that revolutionized the way people though about computer interaction. Originally referred to as simply "Macintosh System", the underlying OS was a single-tasking disk system for the Motorola 68K CPU. Significant changes were made in MacOS 7.x.
The Macintosh originally came bundled with a Guided Tour of Macintosh, MacWrite, MacPaint, and a Tour of MacPaint and MacWrite.
Release notes
System 1.0 (0.97), Finder 1.0 was the first official, stable release. It was released in 1984 with the original Macintosh and ran with 128k RAM, 400k 3.5" floppy drive, monochrome video, and a mouse. It used a flat file system (MFS) that only emulated folders. Officially the System revision was 1.0, but the internal number reported "0.97".
The Macintosh Guided Tour was also released with the original Macintosh, but contained an earlier System 0.85, Finder 1.0. Notably the finder still had icons of the Twiggy Macintosh!
System 1.1, Finder 1.1g improved font support, disk copying, and startup speed.
