This change attaches the orphan mac_hdflop.xml software list to (hopefully) all the Macintosh machines with HD floppy drives, and adds about 70 new software items to it.

The Mac is a bit out of my comfort zone, but rockleevk sent me some previously undumped KanjiTalk images a few months ago, and now that the Mac drivers fully support HD disks and all the obvious bugs have been ironed out, I thought this was a good time to add them along with some other things I got from WinWorld. I actually have about 60 more more waiting to be added, but as this is an almost-new list I wanted to submit my work so far and see if everything checks out.

A couple of notes about the naming...

  • I have tried to reproduce disk labels as part_ids as closely as possible. In some cases this involves languages that are completely unknown to me, so I might have made some mistakes there. At the very least I know that the English, Spanish and Japanese labels shoud be 100% correct.

  • Application names can be a bit inconsistent, so I have tried to go with what the installer or README files call them (including the company name if it's there, like "Microsoft PowerPoint" or "Adobe Illustrator").

  • About the name of the operating system, I think Apple only started calling it "Mac OS" officially with version 7.6, so I have followed that convention. Also, the Korean and Japanese versions have their own regional names (HangulTalk and KanjiTalk, respectively), so I follow those too.

And as a side note, I know mac_flop.xml needs a lot of love too. I may start working on that when I finish sorting out the HD stuff.

Is this officially called “HangulTalk” in Latin script? If not, please use RR transliteration “Hangeul”.

Yes, it's officially written like that in Latin script. See: https://imgur.com/1BeL2Cb

Was this ever distributed in this form, or are these generated from the Disk Copy images for creating a set of installation floppies on the CD? Did the LC580 actually come in a configuration without a CD-ROM drive? I only ever saw the system software on CD, with Disk Copy images for creating a set of floppies if you needed them for some reason.

I'm honestly not sure about this, but it's definitely possible. I could add a note indicating that those images are probably extracted from the CD.

Can you put the version and language in the name? ClarisWorks 1 and 2 are very different pieces of software.

This was one of the few entries that were already there before, so I inadvertently skipped it. It should be consistent with the rest now.

Should the different revisions of 1.5 be clones of the latest one?

Makes sense, modified it so macwp15v1 is a clone now.
