"Ultima3Original.sit" is the archive of floating files downloaded from the original Macintosh Garden. By itself it does not work in Mini vMac, at least not from a hard drive with System 6.0.8.

"Ultima3image.sit" is a DiskCopy 4.2 image made from an original Ultima III disk recently obtained in an eBay lot auction.  It was made using DiskDup+, by setting it to tolerate one bad sector.  It is the invisible file "Formaster" which makes the trouble when copying.  This new disk image will boot successfully into Ultima III, but for some reason will not allow the user to play the game.

The file "Ultima3.dsk" was created by dragging and dropping the Ultima III application from the original upload into the new disk image.  (And converted to DiskDup+ format for ease of use.)  Probably that application was patched for copy protection, and when used with the new disk image, it boots in Mini vMac and allows the game to be played.  The game is a long one, however, and has not been fully tested.
