 * DL #1: Color Startup Screens for Mac as Disk Copy 6 image enclosed
   in an OS X zipped archive.

 * DL #2: Color Startup Screens for Mac as Disk Copy 6 image in
   StuffIt v3.6 ".sit" archive, for extracting in classic Mac OSs

Disk images for emulators or [Disk Copy 6][1]

Compatibility
Architecture: 68k

System Software 7.0 or later (only SSW 7+ supports startup screens in
color).

 * Notes regarding the above DL's:
   1. DL #1 was created by using Mac OS X's built-in Zip Utility. Its filename is too long for classic systems and truncates.
   2. Extracted from the zip archive in a Classic Mac System, Disk Copy 6 cannot mount the extracted image. Disk Copy reports corrupted files and will not allow mounting the image.
   3. It is however, mountable by dropping the image extracted from the zip into a running Mini vMac window via a host computer.
   4. Which was how DL #2's image above was recreated. i.e.; By extracting DL#1's image on a host computer and dropping it into a running Mini vMac window, then using Disk copy 6 to make a fresh (System 7 friendly) copy of the image file, in Mini vMac.
   5. There are still some issues:
      * The file "Read Me First-Startup screens" inside of the mounted image, is damaged and cannot be recovered or read.
      * The enclosed installer app "STARTUPSCREENS.SEA", when run will give a warning:
"The file "Sailboard copy" may be damaged. Please use with caution."

   6. The remaining screen pics appear to be OK and usable. Most have a filename ending with the word "copy". To use any pic file as a startup screen, it will need to be renamed as "StartupScreen" and placed into the System Folder. Only one StartupScreen can be resident in the System Folder at a time, to show at boot up.
