[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1802576, member: 56379"] First of all...congrats on what sounds like quite an involved project to resurrect this old LC II. Nice job!:) [U]Two thoughts: [/U] 1. Originally for your LC II...7.5.3 very likely was distributed on floppy disks. Thus a 1992 LC II with an origonal 40, 80, or 160 meg HD really wasn't designed to work with such a large disk image. I'm willing to bet that this 43 meg disk image more than likely contains 19 individual 1.4 meg floppy disk images that could be used to create 19 individual 1.4 meg floppy disk install disks. Now if you had a large enough hard drive (internal or external)...you may be able to work with this 43meg image directly. Otherwise you cuould create 19 individual floppies. Yes a pain in the butt for sure (and you need to find 19 floppy disks that actually work)...and this assumes that the floppy drive in this computer is still functional. 2. 43 megs for this 7.5.3 file image of Classic MacOS 7.5.3 sounds pretty large. If you see the link below...someone posted that 7.5.3 was originally distributed on (19) 1.4meg floppy disks. Do the math (19 x 1.44 = 27.36 meg).
