Just a follow up on this. I ended up doing it last night. It was actually quite easy once I learned how to do it. A key part of it was getting "System Picker"... thanks, Jpoliti!
- SE30 has 7.1 on it. - Make the two 6.0.8 floppies (1.4 meg) - Boot from the 6.0.8 floppy - on the hard drive, make a folder called "Finder Folder" (or whatever) in the "System Folder - Move the Finder into there. - Rename "System Folder" to "System 7.1" - Run the 6.0.8 installer - When it is done, rename the "System Folder" to "System 6.0.8" - Move the System 7 finder back into the System 7 folder. - Dropped "System Picker" onto the hard drive - Run System Picker and pick System 7.1 - Disks get ejected, it boots 7.1. It did have to rebuild the desktop when it booted into 7.1. I'm not sure if it will have to do this every time I switch, as I have one data point so far. Thanks to all y'all for getting me going in the right direction. :D Cheers; -s -- -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
