Before Norton Utilities became the familiar name in Macintosh disk maintenance, Symantec offered SUM: Symantec Utilities for Macintosh. In this video, I explore a boxed copy of version 1.1 from 1988, trace its origins back to Micro Analyst’s MacZap, and examine the recovery tools that helped protect early Macintosh hard drives and HFS volumes.
