I think you're missing my point.
System 7.5 was a retail-boxed version of MacOS, as was
System 7.1, and NEITHER of them are available for free
download.
The last version of MacOS that was available for free
download was OS 7.0.1.
Everything else that's available is an UPDATE, and CAN NOT
be used for a fresh install. You can't, for example, install
System 7.5.3 on a Macintosh UNLESS it already has 7.5 or 7.5.1.
