Description:
Mac OS 8.1 was the last version of the Mac OS to run on 68040 processors. It introduced a new file system known as HFS+, (aka Mac OS Extended,) which supported large file sizes and made more efficient use of larger hard drives due to using a smaller block size. To upgrade, users must reformat the hard drive, which deletes the entire contents of the drive. Some third-party utilities later appeared that preserved the user's data while upgrading to HFS+. Note that 68040 systems do not support booting from HFS+ disks; the boot drive must be HFS Standard. Once the system is fully booted, however, HFS+ disks may then be attached and used normally by 68040 systems.
