There's also uCLinux, http://www.uclinux.org/ . Although aimed at microcontrollers, it's main purpose is to run on 68000s with no MMU or FPU. It works, though there's no Mac-specific stuff and therefore would probably take a good bit of work to get running on a Plus or the like

This is true for the earlier System 7's. Before 7 there were some system specific things, but nothing like what Enablers added. Especially going back to System 1 and things that old, there only was one Macintosh for it to run on. Scott Holder -Original Message- From: Compact

System 7 does strange things to disks intended for older systems if you mount them directly. The disk copy thing should have worked, as I just yesterday booted my Classic with System .85, which was on the 128k's Guided Tour disk. No clue what might be going on with yours. Scott Holder *
