devcdjan92.zip Dev.CD Jan 92 "The Winter of Our Disc Content". Zip-archived ISO image
devcdjan92cat.hqx Directory catalog of Dev.CD Jan 92. Note: This is actually an ASCII text file, with tab-delimited fields and DOS line breaks generated from Disk Wizard. Save and replace "hqx" with "txt". (For some reason, I can't upload a text file for the Manual even though it's allowed.) Somebody fix this.
If you're looking for the Apple Garamond font, it's here.

P.S: Thanks for creating the new page.
Better use a new page for OS X stuff, this one seems to hold Classic stuff (68k + PPC).
Early OS X are PPC only (from its point of view).
I think it would a good idea to split the Classic and OS X stuff into different pages.
Is this page a good place to upload my 2 Mac OS X Developer Tools discs?
@mrdev; It is text, a tab-delimited directory catalog of the CD content. See "Note" up in the Description area.
The originator of this page has been very quiet about his Dev collection since he created the page, even though he's still about. Maybe he's forgotten he hasn't added any archives to the page yet.
The hqx file uploaded here is not a binhex file. Opening it as a text file shows a list of files, presumably a catalog of the CD contents
There's more disks here: ftp://www.max1zzz.co.uk/*%7CMac%20OS%20Classic/-%7CApple%20disks%7C-/-%7...

Ha! You were correct. I didn't include the "compress" option in Linux's zip utility. It's considerably smaller now. Of course, that's relative; this disc has A LOT of stuff on it. If anyone wants the 7z file, I can post that, too, if appropriate.
One more note: this was from an actual Developer CD I recently acquired. I later found this archive of mostly 1992 developer CDs while searching for E.T.O.:
http://hampa.ch/pub/software/MacOS/Apple%20CDs/
The site has switched hosts so the server limits are gone. You can upload files up to 1GB in size now.
637MB zip compressed doesn't sound right to me though. That's practically no compression at all.
I have Jan 1992 disc. It's 637 MB Zip-compressed and 128 MB 7z-compressed. Would somebody assist me in posting this? I'm sure it'll become inactive within hours of posting from the sheer size.
Thank you.

Leave it simple, leave it at "Apple".
> I'm having trouble finding some good reference material and/or code examples to start from
Yup. It took me 2 years of beating my head against the (virtual) wall from the time I opened "Inside Macintosh" Vol 1 for the first time and when I completed my first show-worthy app.
There were a few good books (each one specialized) but mostly it was "trial and error" that got me past the learning curve.
The one thing I found the most valuable was an application called "AppMaker". It would let me create a UI and then it would generate the code to bring the UI to life. I still use it to this day.

What exactly is the purpose of this "app" page? I mean if we aren't actually uploading software images of these CDs (I realize they can't be hosted by the Garden, but an external host) what's the point? Shouldn't this be a forum topic or something? I'm really not trying to be a dick, because I am very interested in this topic, I'm just trying to understand what direction this is going. Sadly I have no Apple developer CDs (reference, SDKs or otherwise) and am trying to find a couple. I've only recently picked up "classic" Mac programming (I'm mostly a web app programmer) and to an extent I'm having trouble finding some good reference material and/or code examples to start from...I've got CodeWarrior 10 and THINK C setup, but I'm having trouble getting out of the gate.
Does anyone have any ideas? And also, do any of you see isos, etc being available for download at any point?
Thanks guys!
I can see at least four Mac OS SDK ROMs in the rather fuzzy pics. The rest appear to be System Software disks i.e. I don't see any reference CD's amongst the included pics.
My thoughts align with Gary's... User stamped copies (perhaps of originals)... Although, I had stopped buying Developer CD's from Apple before these dates, so may be wrong.
Please add files.
I suspect the "artwork" was added by the original owner. I looked at the ebay auction photos and found that these disks are part of the "Reference" series. Apple would release a "Reference" CD every 3 months. In the interveening months, they would send a "ToolChest" CD and a "System Software" CD. This pattern went on for several years.
My collection includes the same CDs minus the reptiles.

This looks like the Disks that came with the first CD-ROM equipped Macs (Performas?)…
Reptiles? Planets?
I don't know WHAT you're talking about!!
