![]() Lacking the Appearace Manager and Finder 8, it looks and feels more like System 7. It can read, write, format and repair HFS+ volumes. This remarkable Disk Copy image was included with the Mac OS 8.1 install CD, to allow a user to make her own minimal bootable rescue disk. HFS, by contrast, was relegated to read-only status years ago, and likely will soon be removed altogether. HFS+ was only relatively recently deprecated by macOS 10, and can still easily be read and written on a modern Mac. On unsupported systems, HFS+ volumes would seem to contain only one document: "Where_have_all_my_files_gone?" Unfortunately, no HFS+ support was ever provided for Mac OS 8.0 and earlier. Floppy disks were never formatted with HFS+, allowing easy data exchange in most cases (the overhead with HFS+ was also too large for a floppy disk). Mac OS 8.1 and later provided equal support for HFS and HFS+, until the release of Mac OS X 10.6 over ten years later. Its main practical benefit to users was to save space and increase the maximum file count on large volumes, by allowing disk sectors to divided among >64k "allocation blocks". It was salvaged from the failed Copland OS project and shipped with Mac OS version 8.1. HFS+ succeeded Apple's previous Hierarchical File System (plain "HFS" or "Mac OS Standard"). ![]() This is a project to patch early versions of the "classic" Mac OS to support the HFS+ ("Mac OS Extended") filesystem.
