I went and looked on the Apple support downloads web site (which is at http://support.apple.com/downloads/) and saw a link to "Older Software Downloads" (http://support.apple.com/kb/TA48312?viewlocale=en_US) which appears to have page after page of old stuff, including System 6 and most of the versions of System 7 (looks like all but 7.6). This page also has tons of old drivers and patches and stuff. The main thing there that wasn't already free that you might want is a copy of 7.5.3, and the update to 7.5.5 is there but was already a free download. That was what would have probably shipped with an 8500. My 7600 which is roughly the same age shipped with a CD that booted 7.5.3 but also had the 7.5.5 update packaged in with it.
