Check out some of the Mac sites for pointers on where to get an OS. Apple
should have a copy you can run available for download. At least they used
to have OS's for the Apple ][gs, and older Mac's (System 6 & 7) available
for download. I've not messed with any older Mac's in quite a while, so I'm
not sure what's still available, or where they've hidden it these days on
their site. I'd not recommend anything newer than System 7.1 for a Plus
though.
