I've got the OS here, downloaded on my computer, so whoever wants it, just ask, and I'll e-mail it as an attachment, or, I could like post it on my web site, or something.
There is a Macintosh utility that is required to write the disks,

Got 'em. But, I still can't get it working. I'll try it on my 200 MHz "beast". (Well, compared to my former 486/66 28MB RAM 2.1GB HDD, it's REALLY NICE.)
    BTW, Zane, sorry for not replying to that Linux e-mail, I've been really busy. I'll respond soon.
