Disk Image for SE/30 w/rominator?

So I decided I'm finally gonna work on my SE/30 and get it working on system 7.5 or better with the Rominator. It seems kind of annoying to patch 7.5 and up for it, just wondering if anyone might have a pre-patched disk image that might work that I can just install on my scsi2sd and go. I think I'd like 7.5 but newer is ok, I have a 50mhz accelerator in it so I think I can run up to 8.x?

I have prepatched OS 8.1 that I made for my LC III if you want it, it might work for the SE/30

Thanks I appreciate it! I'll try it out as soon as my new scsi2sd comes in, just stole the one out of my SE/30 to put in my SE after the Quantum drive died. Got another couple on the way

Please educate me: why do you have to patch for your SE/30?

Because the ROMinator has a ROM from another computer in it, it's not actually an SE/30 ROM (because the SE/30 ROM isn't 32-bit clean). This essentially confuses 7.5 into not knowing what computer it's running on and it becomes decidedly unhappy. The patch pats it on the head and tells it it's OK. :p
