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.

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. Dave
