I have a Quadra 660AV that I recently purchased. It has the original CD-ROM since it has a date of December 1993, and it is an AppleCD 300 Plus (the one that uses a tray and not a caddy). I have downloaded and burned the Quadra 660AV "Install Me First" CD, and it will not boot. However, it will read it okay, so there is nothing wrong with the CD-ROM drive.
When I create floppy disks from the CD to use them instead, it will read them and freeze at the start screen. I am guessing that this 660AV is a later revision, and I probably need the newer "Install Me First" CD. It would also explain why it cannot boot since the AppleCD 300 Plus is not compatible with the older version.
I successfully got 7.5 on this computer, so there is nothing wrong with the computer itself. However, this originally came with 7.1. Does anyone know where I can find a newer revision of the "Install Me First" CD that came with the Quadra 660AV. I have done lots of searching, and the best I can find is an old eBay listing that had version 1.2 (Part number 691-0207).
Thanks
