Does anyone have an old Mac image they can share?

Does anyone have an image that was saved from an old Mac that they could
share with me? I am looking for any image, any version, just as long as the
image was saved from a big-endian machine such as a pre-Intel Macintosh.

I can't find any big-ender images on files.squeak.org, but maybe I am looking
in the wrong place.

Background: I am experimenting with image snapshots in network byte ordering
(which happens to be big-endian) and I want to find out if problems that I
am seeing are caused by a regression in the classic VM.

Thanks,
Dave

That surprises me since the very early images were all released from Macs, probably.

Sorry, please disregard. Can I plead endian dislexia?

Sorry for the noise.

I have a running G4 which run some images until 4.5 with JMM old stack.
No idea which one could be suited for you, so explain more.

Re: Does anyone have an old Mac image they can share?

Thank you Edgar,

I found the images that I was looking for on files.squeak.org, so I have
what I need now.

I was just double checking that I had not introduced a bug in the interpreter
VM, and I mis-read the header bytes in the images that I was looking at.

All good, thank you.
