To re-iterate a point I have made before but need to make again for
clarity, I recommend OS 7.6.1 for use on all 68040 powered machines (LC
or straight) because it is the definitive version of OS 7 and runs very
satisfactorily on all 040,s even the 25MHz machines like my LC475 (which
is a identical to a Q605). 7.5 is generally a rocky OS, I didn't think
it was until I used 7.5.5 a while on my LC475 and it it crashed a *lot*
when it was doing hard work. I also had a few network problems with that
OS version too.
Terry, as an OT not for this list I'd drop that LCIII back to 7.1, or if
you insist on using a late OS 7 7.5.3 is not a good one IMHO, 7.5.5 also
crashes a bit on my LC so I bought 7.6 and updated it to 7.6.1 using the
free updater. 7.1 can use OT 1.1.2 as long as you install 1.1.1 first
and, apart from a few missing features, is a fine OS for 030s. If you
want you can lift CPs and extensions from 7.5, some work, some partly
work and some don't work at all but I'll leave that for you to tool
around with.
