Hi! My father just gave me his REALLY old (7 - 8 years old) Apple Quadra 700 (dunno how much RAM, CPU about 25MHz) and I connected a SCSI HDD with 200 MB. Now there's no system on either the Quadra's HDD itself nor on the SCSI HDD and I don't have any system disks.
Where can I download a system prior to 8.0 for free? There're just updates on the apple.com site...
Thanks for any help!
(BTW: I use "TransMac" on my PC to make the Apple system disks once I downloaded the binaries)

I just downloaded the whole MacOS 7.01 onto my Windows98SE PC - these are 6 disk images, each with the *.sea.bin ending! I want to use the Windows program "TransMac" to create Apple-readable floppys to install this system on my prehistoric Quadra 700 - like I posted before. But I dunno how to extract those sea.bin floppy images so that I can copy them to the floppys! Does anyone know a program which can do this in Windows??
Thank you very much!

Ok I downloaded a prog. called "Aladdin Expander - StuffIt" which can extract *.bin and *.sea files.
Now I've got those 6 floppy images, each with the *.image ending. I formatted a Mac floppy with "TransMac" and tried to copy one of the images on a floppy. The images are all exactly 1482752 bytes in size (1,4 MB), but at about 95% of the copying process, TransMac sais "Mac disk ran out of room"! How can I copy the image files on the floppys?!?!?

I've got an idea for you:

Why don't you guys link us users directly to the www.MacFixIt.com forums instead of as-good-as-never answering Apple related questions? That would help both sides, wouldn't it?
I only want to improve this sites performance because I really *love* helponthe.net!
Just think about a fusion with macfixit.com!?

Thanks!
