Hi Louis, The minimum OS for the 6500 was 7.5.5 so 7.5.3 won't install.
Also you need to make sure you have the System Enabler 411 for 7.5.5 on the 6500. If you are still having difficulties installing 7.5.5, check that you have at least 8MB of RAM and 21MB of HDD space. If your RAM is maxed out, you might want to dial it back with a smaller stick say 16MB and try again. Thanks for keeping us updated with your efforts.

It boots to the improper version for this Macintosh screen. I got 8.1 installed finally yesterday afternoon on the 6500. TCP/IP works fine with Ethernet card it has and my router and switches that I have. It is not in one of the two expansion slots so I assume it is the original optional card. I was hoping to have the 7.5.5 installed on the 6500 this but I just cannot get it to accept the 7.5.3 floppies I created from the Apple downloads. I am hoping the restore CD will have 7.5.5 on it. Now to get the 660AV on the network using the Apple AAUI to Ethernet adapter. I suspect this one will and the se/30 will not like the router and switches I use.
