That link only allows you to download the system update. The OS is not available from apple. I don't really need OS 7.1 or else. Any OS that would work on a Color Mac Classic would be fine. I use a G4 for most of my work which unfortunately has no disk drive so getting things put on to floppy can be difficult. I do have a SCSI card and an external drive that I can connect to both my G4 and Color Mac Classic. Is it possible to format the external drive, download an Operating System image to it, then startup the C.M.C. using the external drive as a startup disk? Please keep in mind that due to the netwerk program installed I am unable to do anything to the current system on the mac, except for copying files from floppy or using whatever programs that are installed within the netwerk program.
