This sounds like the best approach. I'll need to find a copy of stuffit to use on the classic, or is it built into 7.0?

To use a Mac emulator don't I need a copy of a ROM. In that case the only one I would legally have is the one from the Classic II. Would I be able to use my MacPro II to emulate a Classic II, download the system 7 updater and write it to a floppy that my Classic II could understand?

That presents a an amusing situation. Can I run a Mac emulator in Widows which in turn is running in Virtualization (Parallels 3) on my MacPro?

From the link http://macfaq.org/software/macos.shtml#Q1.1.6 The problem I am having is that Stuff it expander does not unstuff the archive as a disk image but as a .sea file. This is where I think that I'm either making a mistake, or the current version of Stuffit expander for windows handles...

Unfortunately I do not have access to a pre OS X Mac other then the Classic II (which is not connected to the internet). Does anyone know where I can download an image as opposed to a .sea or .sit.bin file?

I recently rolled back my Classic II from System 7.5 to 7.0.1 with some original Apple disks I got off e-Bay. I'm trying to update it with the System 7 updater but not having much success. The web pages I've found to use as guides suggest down loading the System 7 Tune up from Apple, to a...

My intention is to give either 7.0 or 7.1 a try. System 7.5 seems to be a dog on my box, but then again I only have 4meg of Ram.

Thanks Charliman. I'm a recent switcher to Mac. I figured the process would be similar to DOS but wasn't sure what I might need to do to the disk before hand. Your response certainly clears it up.

I'll be getting some original installation floppies for system 7.0. Where can I find a procedure for reformatting the hd (currently running 7.5) and installing 7.0, or will the install disk step me through this?

IIRC OS6 will fit on a floppy, so I assume I'd be able to boot off of the floppy to see just what 6 has to offer in terms of performance.

Thanks for the clarification on 'built in memory'. I've ordered 2 4 meg cars to bring my total built in memory up to 10 meg. I'll see how 7.5 runs then before I make any decision about rolling back to 7.0. I'll see how Ram DOubler works on 2x, it was set to 3x when I got the machine.

Are you saying that the previous owner added two 1mb cards, or was there a way to upgrade the built in Ram fro 2 mb to 4 mb?

I recently picked up a classic II with OS7.5 installed. From what I've read compacts such as the Classic II perform better with 7.0 then they do with 7.5. I'm thinking of rolling the Mac back to 7.0, is there any reason not to do so? The system also has Conectix Ram Doubler 2 installed. About...

Thanks, found one on E-bay for about $8.00 including postage.

The SE/30 got away from me, and for $138.00 plus shipping, who cares. But I did manage to snag a Classic II for $29.00 plus shipping. I do need to get a mouse though and was wondering if any one could suggest a good source for picking up an ADB mouse. At least I think I need an ADB mouse, this...
