To start with we are going to download the System 6 boot floppy disk image from the internet by using a modern computer. This is the website of the Gryphel Project. This is also the reason that only a Macintosh that is equipped with such a drive (like this Power Mac G3) will be able to successfully write disk images that can be read back by the floppy disk that is inside the Macintosh Plus computer. You can hear that while you are formatting the floppy disk. This floppy drive also uses variable-speed while reading and writing to the disks.

For that purpose I will be using a Power Macintosh G3 which is running OS 9.2. It is possible to find one on ebay or some other place, but it is also an option to create one yourself.

File sizes are also limited to 4GB, and FAT32 causes more disk errors than other file types. Remember that FAT32 cannot be encrypted and has no other security features.

It's a great format when working with your external hard drives on your Mac, and will work great with every other Mac user out there. HFS+ hard drives, like APFS, can be encrypted. HFS+ is the pioneer of APFS, and Macs running macOS prior to High Sierra will use it by default. If you’re all-in on the latest and greatest from Apple – hardware and software – APFS is a good choice. It’s efficient, reliable, and can encrypt files.
