About

Mac Hut System 6.0.8 Recovery Toolkit is a collection of utilities for diagnosing and repairing Macintosh systems running System 6. It is ideally used with a FloppyEmu that can mount a Disk Image file as a mounted drive on the host system (more about that below). The collection is included on a bootable 32MB HFS-formatted Macintosh Disk Image which you can mount in Mac emulators (Mini vMac, Basilisk II) or use with a FloppyEmu or SCSI2SD.

These utilities are particularly useful for those wishing to run system tests on their Mac, or format or test a hard drive. A range of tools are included which should remedy various common drive problems, including lost partitions or corrupted drives.

Also included are various other useful tools, such as StuffIt Expander 4.01, BinHex versions 4 and 5, Disk Copy 4.2 and the disk images to re-install System 6.0.8 on your system.

Some of these programs will not work properly in an emulated environment (i.e. you must instead mount this disk on a real Macintosh system), and some utilities require specific Apple products to work. Check the bundled Read Me files or manuals where relevant for further compatibility information.

I cannot provide support, and this is strictly provided on an as-is basis without warranty. However, if you have basic questions, please feel free to email machut@pm.me

Using it

First of all, this image uses System 6.0.8, so it is most suitable for machines which can boot 6.0.8 - the exception to the list on that page being the Classic II, LC, LC II and PowerBook 100 which use 6.0.8L instead.

Drop into Mini vMac or set as a volume in Basilisk II GUI to boot an emulator using this disk image.

Or, drop it onto an SD card for your FloppyEmu and boot using HD20 Emulation Mode. The disk image is too large to be used in Floppy emulation.

If you are planning to use it with a FloppyEmu, remember only certain Macs support HD20 emulation. By default this is Macintosh 512K, 512Ke, Plus, SE (not SE/30), Classic, Classic II, Portable, IIci, IIsi, or LC I. Custom ROMs can add HD20 support to other machines.

You could also use this as a basis for a SD card to be used with a SCSI2SD device. If I was doing this, I would mount my SD card and format it/prepare it with Basilisk II.

More Info

This disk image has been tested with Mini vMac (Plus) and Mini vMac emulating a Macintosh II, and Basilisk II emulating a 68040.

Please Note: This disk image is not yet tested with real hardware.

The contents of the disk image have been scanned with Agax, SAM 3.5 and Disinfectant (see reports).
