Ahem, that site contains links to copyrighted software... Never a good idea
to post that to a list, not for the owner of the site, or of the list.

Re: mac os 7.1.1 on floppy disk

[Dan Palka]

There is a good website still that as all of the systems up to 7.5.5 for 
free download, including system 7 pro (7.1.1).

I forget where, but I always find it on google after a few minutes of 
searching when I need some old OS.

The title of the page was "where to download the macos"

Re: Mac OS

[RaceCivicR]

I've gotten it to work fine (tested on a 520c and Quadra 800). Don't get me 
wrong, it's not easy but I'll do my best to describe how I did it. First I 
downloaded the whole 19 files and then decompressed the whole deal (gives you 
a folder which is your installer). Anyway, I then used it to instal the basic 
OS (custom instal) onto a blank hard drive which now gave me my system 
folder. Now the hard part. I then used disk copy to make me a blank image 
file (use standard hfs) and threw the installer and the system folder onto it 
so now when you open the .img file you have your installer and the system 
folder on it. I then used Toast Ti 5, selected other (hold down on the mouse) 
and then selected Mac Volume and this gives you the option to select the 
mounted image. Select it, click bootable (gotten weird results selecting 
optimize on the fly, might want to unclick it) and presto a bootable 7.5.3 
installer. 

You may also want to add the 7.5.5 updater to the disk as well. Just be sure 
to put the updater into it's own folder, make an alias and put that next to 
the 7.5.3 installer icon.

I tried to burn bootables cds for older macs and it doesnt work - the

they are all like discimages that is started from the first one, 

there is no install system present in theese diskimages - just an 

installer,

you could as I finally did take the system files from a 8.1 cd and 

then burn the diskimages together with that, start from the 8.1 

system on the cd and install the 7.5.3 wherever you want it.

Yes, I see what you mean. I guess I go by...Whatever gets the job done, 
whether it be orthodox or just by luck. Having no formal training in any 
of this, I'm lucky that I can almost always fanagle stuff to come out 
with the desired effect.

No, thanks. I guess we were both right.

There is no way you can make a set of install floppies from those parts,
like I said.

They do work together to make ONE SINGLE image that contains the installer.

Technically, you didn't use the installer to make floppies; you used
floppies to transfer the installer image to a hard drive.

Thanks Fabian.I wish I would have seen this back when I was trying 
to make my floppies! I had very little idea of what I was doing, being a 
total Mac newbie at the time! IIRC I was having to reformat each floppy 
as I went along cuz they were all IBM formatted.  ;-)

Here is the instruction from the same web page for mounting the 19 disk images on your 
desktop, which you can then copy to floppy disks:

Name: System 7.5 Version 7.5.3

Released: January 30, 1999

Requires:
System 7.5.3 requires an Apple Macintosh or PowerBook computer with at
least 4MB of RAM. Note: newer Macintosh and PowerBook computers
require versions of System software higher than version 7.5.3 in order
to operate. See TIL article 8970 for information on which CPUs support
System 7.5.3.

Description:
This is the North American English version of System 7.5 version
7.5.3, which includes the following system updates: System 7.5 Update
2.0 and System 7.5.3 Revision 2. For further information on System
7.5.3, please consult the Technical Information Library.

Instructions:
This software is available as 19 parts of a self-mounting Disk Copy
image. Download all 19 parts to your hard drive and then double-click
on the first part to mount the compressed disk image on your desktop.

Note that self-mounting Disk Images require Mac OS version 7.0.1 or
later. If you are using a version of Mac OS prior to this, you can
download the System 7.5 Network Access floppy disk and boot your
Macintosh from that to use this software.

One other thoughtwhich version of DiskCopy are you using? It may be 
that you need an older version than the one you currently use.

It's been almost a year ago that I did it...IIRC I had to download them 
in order because you have to have the first one  (smi.bin) in order to 
do anything with the others. D/L #1-19 each on their own floppy and when 
you go to install you have to create a folder on the machine you want to 
install to and transfer each disk into that folder and then start from 
the #1 smi.bin. I remember it took me quite a long time to figure out 
the process with alot of going back and forth but perserverence paid 
off. If you seriously need this let me know and I'll try to reconstruct 
the process in depth for you.

Okay, I'm very curious how you managed that.

I downloaded System 7.5.3 12of19.part.bin, and tried to coax Disk Copy into
doing something other that throw me an error message with it, and failed.

Not true.  Take a look at the following massive list of old Apple software still 
available for ready downloading:

Yes -- and I never tried to construct a whole system that way, just the
emergency boot disk floppies for 7.5x & 8.5.

Best,

Not anymore. In the past, Apple had both the floppy version of System 7.5.3
available online, as a series of single 1.4 MB floppy images, and the CD
version, which consists of 19 parts of one big image file that can be burnt
to a CD-R.

The floppy version is no longer available for download, for some reason.

I tried to burn bootables cds for older macs and it doesnt work - the 
old mac freezes -
they are all like discimages that is started from the first one, 
there is no install system present in theese diskimages - just an 
installer,
you could as I finally did take the system files from a 8.1 cd and 
then burn the diskimages together with that, start from the 8.1 
system on the cd and install the 7.5.3 wherever you want it.

I have a copy of that (7.5.3), as well. Made the same way as 7.5.

Re: Mac OS

[Dana Collins]

Greetings,
A question on this; once downloaded and unstuffed (the 19 parts of OS
7.5.3), is it possible to take the unstuffed parts and burn a working
installer CD? I'm thinking that the issue of using a newer faster Mac to
download the System to use on an older (aka, slower) Mac would not be an
uncommon scenario.
Thank you.

Re: Mac OS

Fran,

The downloads for System 7.5 were regular floppy images of an install set,
as you say.

I think it's System 7.5.3 which is only available as a set of images that
must be mounted on the desktop and installed from there.

Victoria,

Did you make the floppy disks AFTER the images were mounted on the desktop?

I didn't think there was a way to make the images directly into disks.

You are not wrong.

The System 7.5.3 download from Apple consists of 19 parts of ONE big disk
image.

The idea is that you download and unstuff the parts, then mount the image
and install from there.

Maybe so, but I've certainly made working boot floppies from the images.

I think I remember something just like that aswell, that some of the 
disks were 4 k to big to fit the floppy, not all but some.
I have the 7.55 with upgrades on an old MACWORLD CD.

Re: Mac OS

Maybe if you made it clear EXACTLY what OS it is that you have...?
I've seen you write 7.5.? , but what does the "?" signify?  Is it a zero
or a "3"?

So, I think I understand that you have DiskCopy images of "some" OS, and
that possibly you are trying to convert these to floppy disks on your PC?

Is that the case?

Not sure if Roxio EZ CD Creator for Windows can read Roxio Toast disc
images unless you install a software like Macdrive 98 or newer that
reads/writes/saves Mac files on a PC.

this was an option if you already had toast a program for burning cds 
- you can save discimages in that one -
and if you have toast in both pc and mac they can read each others 
images, and toast can mount disk copy images on the mac anyhow.

on our domestic maclist (macsweden) someone said that toasts 
diskimages (from roxio) can be transferred to a pc read  and if you 
want  then burnt, a toast discimage is very much alike a disk copy 
img, and toast can mount img files. but then you  need to have a copy 
of toast, but if you have it already try "save as diskimage" and in a 
pc friendly format ?

no, i do not think there is a way todo that as for running disk copy you 
need a PC program that can do that. i you want to make coppy's of a disk, 
coppy the stuff on the disk to your computer and then put the disk in that 
you want to coppy and coppy it to the disk
any more questions feel free to e-mail me again thanks,

No need to upgrade to 9.2, the only changes in 9.2 from 9.1 are things 
to make it work with OSX 10.1, and new Apple hardware.

9.1 is a free downloadable upgrade from Apple, though, again, I'm not 
sure it's needed.

Itunes works fine with OS 9.1, at least.

Re: Mac OS 10.1 IS HERE!

[MacinNW]

Whoa  Michelle, the release is __after__ Friday at midnight!

Per my conversation with the  Computer Store/ PowerMax/ the MugStore, a 
25-year Authorized Dealer, the Instant Up-to-Date version is the "flat-pak", 
full 10.1 CD and 9.2.1 updater CD, _no_ Developer Tools CD. You need to bring 
either the coupons or your receipt. Some retailers may accept as proof of 
purchase the OS 10.0.x CD.

The $20 version is supposed to be more complete.

So there is still some speculation and waiting left.

Brent,
