Re: Bin files. Re: System 7.5.5 [was: my stash of Macs]
I never managed to install Open Transport on my LC (via the copy in System 7.5.3 Installer or via an OT Installer (1.1.1 and 1.1.2) on its own). Maybe an earlier version than OT1.1 will work on LC's, but I had no luck with version 1.1.1 or 1.1.2. Actually, to clarify, it was worse than that, in that the LC had a processor upgrade card (Sonnet Allegro 030 33MHz), which the OT Installers couldn't 'see'. The Installer just said you need an 030 processor or higher to run this software or something like that. Kind of presumed when I bought the card that it wld allow me into a wonderful new world of speed and stability, using stuff like OT, but, oh well, now I know different. I'm never quite sure if the card is working at all, actually. 'Clockometer' shows it as running at 33MHz, so I guess it must be... but it still seems that my IIci (030 25 MHz) might be faster (although it does have an FPU... that must help). I searched the Internet q a lot but never found any info on how to make the OT Installer recognize the 030... Anyone had any experience with these cards?

Absolutely i'd love to have the 7.5.5 update on floppy disks know where I can get em?

Stuff like this is still within easy reach at ftp.apple.com. You really don't need that new and improved page for older software. BTW, considering we are talking about a LC I would not install anything newer than 7.1 and preferably even something older (the FAQ will tell you what would be the best).

You'll also want to replace the 7.1 Finder with Finder 7.1.3 that comes with Drag Manager, even though the included instructions say it doesn't. Its also a good idea to trash any extentions and control panels, or at least disable them, that don't work with the LC.
