Well, I don't know about the 7.6 disk tools image, but the 8.1 image definitely is on Apple's site: <http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/Mac_OS_8.1_Update/> Then you could download OT 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 in disk-image sized pieces (actually, each piece IS a disk image - alternatively, you can do the "net install" download and chunk it up yourself, but this is probably harder): <http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/Networking-Communications/Open_Transport/> This, if I remember correctly, was one option I had mentioned a while ago. The other was for me to send you the minimal system 7.5.2 w/ PowerBook 5300 Enabler as a floppy image, then download OT 1.1.1 on top of that. Same effect, though. Have you tried Gamba's site at all? I know he used to have links to Disk Tools images (and some rather illegitimate sources of system 7 and OS 8).
