This is a 2-CD-ROM collection of scientific, medical, design, OS, and development application demos that was bundled with Power Macintosh computers sold in Japan.

The PLEASE_READ file contains a text file with an English translation of the text file named "OYOMI KUDASAI" ("Please read") included on both disc volumes.

Thanks for completing the set

I posted too soon. The formatting gets messed up on Windows, but looks fine on Mac. Hooray!

by papa - 2014, June 22 - 1:30pm

Ugh! Zipping the text file really jacked-up the formatting in the PLEASE READ. Any ideas?

I just uploaded a zipped ISO image of the Volume 1 disc. Enjoy.

I will upload a partial translation of the README file that's included with both volumes. In addition to the portion I've translated, the original file also lists all the demo applications with contact information and a brief description. I'll continue translating and replace the file when I'm done.

(I had never seen anyone differentiate "discs" and "disks" before the previous set of changes to this page. It looks like Apple decided to use the "c' word for optical media and the "k" word for magnetic. Since we're all Mac fans here, I won't complain about following Apple's lead. )

@Fortuna_Wave I don't but I will ask the benefactor who gave me my Mac if he's got a set.

Not very well. I tend to use online translators a lot these days.

by papa - 2014, June 16 - 5:10pm

@Protocol 7: I just with the seller had put the 2 CDs up as a set and saved me a buck and change in postage. So you read Japanese?

by Protocol 7 - 2014, June 16 - 5:03pm

I spotted it yesterday when I was having a look through the auctions. Didn't want to say anything in case it looked pushy, but I'm glad to hear you snapped it up

It'll be nice to have the complete set. I'm curious to see what it holds.

Hello papa. Thank you for sharing this, I like it. Do you have Macintosh system discs in Japanese?

by IIGS_User - 2014, June 16 - 5:44am

This is an interesting collection, thanks for sharing.

by papa - 2014, June 16 - 4:40am

The Volume 1 disk was just put on auction and I've snapped it up, too. Stay tuned.
