Macintosh System 2.0 was originally released with the same finder as System 1.1. In April 1985, a new release, featuring Finder 4.1, made all the difference. New features included: folder creation, shutdown, the Minifinder, and a feature that some modern OSs still don't have--file list printing.

There apparently is a System 2.1 that's teamed with Finder 5.0 that provides support for Apple's first Mac hard drive, the HD 20. This was kind of a rough period in Mac system software as Apple struggled with evolving their flat file system, MFS, into a hierarchical system, HFS, which was a practical necessity for large volumes.

This archive contains two System 2.0 boot disk images--one for each Finder version.
