While the OS is off-topic, the machines it will run on aren't. Finally
people can get something other than System 7.0.1 for free. I just got this
from the Apple Developer news:
----------------------------------------
[2] Mac OS 7.5.3 Posted for Free Downloading
Apple has posted the full North American English version of System
7.5.3 to its web site for free downloading.
http://swupdates.info.apple.com/cgi-bin/lister.pl?Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Softw
are_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/Older_System/System_7.5_Vers
ion_7.5.3/
The Mac OS System 7.5.5 update has also been posted.
http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English
-North_American/Macintosh/System/System_7.5.5_Update/
(Apple recommends that all users who install System 7.5.3 to also load
the System 7.5.5 update.)
----------------------------------------
I don't remember if 7.5.5 is the last version prior to 7.6 or not. This
will also run on all but the newest PowerMacs (again Off Topic). In fact I
think it runs on everything but G3 systems, the 128 and 512, but won't
guarentee it.
So while this has been a primarily off-topic message, I figure it's of
interest to enough people to post.
