Mac Identifier 1.0 is a freeware system extension designed for System 7.5 users who can’t stand the thought of their Macintosh not knowing its own model designation or what itself looks like.
Under certain circumstances, System 7.5 is unable to provide model or icon information about the Macintosh it is running on. In this scenario, the “About This Macintosh” dialog in the Finder displays a generic Macintosh icon and a truncated name without the model designation.
Mac Identifier 1.0 contains a database of Macintosh model designations and icons and alters system operation so that the Macintosh applications can obtain and provide this information, such as when the Finder displays it in the “About This Macintosh” dialog. The database in Mac Identifier 1.0 is current as of September 1994.
To install Mac Identifier 1.0, drag its icon to the System Folder or place it directly into the Extensions folder of the System Folder. Mac Identifier 1.0 does not modify the system file. Therefore, when Mac Identifier 1.0 is removed from the System folder and the Macintosh is rebooted, names and icons will be displayed as they before it was installed.
Mac Identifier 1.0 runs emulated on Power Macs.
