I have a Centris 660av that if I cannot sell I would like to install
7.5.3 on it, but the image on apple's site is for a CD or HD install,
problem is how do this on a computer with no network or CD drive.
The only places you can get a floppy disk install of 7.5.3 are from
original floppies or copies, or the Apple Legacy Recovery CD (white with
a green bar across the middle of the label).
The Legacy Recovery CD has floppy disk images of nearly all Apple
software, System and Mac OS, for all 68k Macs, up through at least Mac
OS 7.6.1. It also has all their apple ][ software and the final update
to A/UX but does not include A/UX nor does it include any Apple ///
software. (I'd have to check, may not have any Lisa software either,
probably also no Mac XL.) Bootable system on it is either 7.5 or 7.6
There were 3 other CDs in the set with this disc, but they were blue
with white text. One was for pre-G3 PowerMac, one was for G3 PowerMac,
the third was just Apple software, including an early version of
FinalCut Pro and even old Apple software for Windows 3.1x. The software
disc isn't bootable, I think the other two boot to 8.1.
Original sets of these discs turn up on eBay once in a while, there was
a ton of them on there late 20th century after the first release of OS X.
Downloads of the discs, especially the Legacy one, may be "found" here
and there...
