MultiFinder: Works With TOPS 2.0 and Single Drive


Will MultiFinder work with TOPS (version 2.0)?

MultiFinder works with TOPS version 2.0, and disk space can be found to
use it with only a single floppy drive.

A bootable Macintosh disk using System Software 5.0 with MultiFinder
requires at least these files:

- System
- Finder
- MultiFinder

You can save more room by removing unneeded desk accessories and Fonts
from the System file. The System file must contain the TOPS DA, and four
fonts: Chicago 12, Monaco 9, Geneva 9, and Geneva 12. All other fonts and
DAs can be removed to save space.

NOTE: If you plan to access the Control Panel, you will need that DA
installed, along with the CDEVs necessary to perform the desired functions:
"General", for example.

We suggest you pare down a System 5.0 disk to your minimum requirements,
leaving as much disk space as possible, then install TOPS 2.0.
