Remember that MacOS 7.5 doesn't work on all models of OldWorld Mac. Folks should check the matrix on this Apple web page: <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=8970> to see if their hardware can run MacOS 7.5, before they invest a lot of effort in downloading 19 floppy image files and burning a bunch of floppies they can't use. If you want to lobby Apple to release selected later versions of MacOS for free (as in beer) you can sign the petition at: <http://www.PetitionOnline.com/macos8x/petition.html> <snip> > > favorite quote from http://www.penguinppc.org/mac/#bootloaders > Old World Macs must use either BootX (which requires a bootable Mac OS > installation) or quik (which must deal with the buggy firmware of that era).
