[QUOTE="dhoggan, post: 1840064, member: 403743"] Hi Nick, Ah, I didn't know about the meaning of the -199 error, so worth knowing. As for the 30Mb file. What I meant was that, once I had downloaded the 19 individual parts (each of approx. 1.4MB) and opened part 1 (the .SMI) it mounted an image which contained three files, one of which was 30MB in size). I do not know, but I think that the files I have are designed to be loaded onto a lower OS version (for the purposes) of upgrading, or to be copied onto a new system once a minimal boot had taken place (perhaps by another floppy). The issue is that I can;t find anyone how knows what that 19 part archive the Apple released is for! And yes, I agree with you that any System 7 deployment will either be on CD or multiple floppies. What I really need is someone to point me in the right direction to obtains those floppies. They must exist somewhere, but I'm having trouble finding them. Thanks, Dave [/QUOTE]
