[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1840059, member: 56379"] The floppy alginment issue (with age) may or may not be a cause of the -199 error...just wanted to mention it in case you hadn't thought of it...or knew it existed. As far as the floppies & installing. If my memory serves me correctly...Classic Mac OS 7.6 was the first Classic Mac OS version shipped on CD. Thus everything before it would have shipped on floppy disk...very likely 800k disks. Thus any disk images of of Classic Mac OS 7.5.3 or 7.5.5 would have had to fit on floppy disks (yes...that would be a ton of floppy disks for an OS install). If you're seeing a install file/disk image of 30+ megabyte...then either that file is wrong (or in the wrong format)...or somehow it's supposed to be split up into smaller disk images that will each fit on an 800k floppy. - Nick [/QUOTE]
