Hey all, here's a short tutorial video on using ADTPro to bootstrap your early Apple when you have no existing media.

I'm struck by how coincidental this is for me personally: I was just about to do this for the first time tomorrow night. Excellent timing.
ADT is brilliant and has got my disks working, but I am amazed at how fast http://asciiexpress.net/gameserver/ is. 17 seconds to load a game via audio from the online library is quite a feat and means I only use disks for some more 'serious' programs like diagnostics.
What diagnostics do you recommend? I'll be using ADTPro to service drives of unknown functionality, and would like a diag to help verify them.
Thanks for the advice! I'm hoping the drives are fine and don't need too much adjustment, but just in case I have a repair manual.
I use a VM to install Java in so it doesn't pollute my main OS. It isn't recommended to run ADTPro from a VM, but it has worked for me in the past.
