Apple Legacy CD

Apple Computer's web site or FTP site. There was a topic on these forums discussing it, but it was removed and I don't remember the exact details. You need an Apple ID, though, but anyone can register for one.

 
That's the thing: I don't remember the exact location, and the topic discussing it here was removed.

However, we are not out of options. I downloaded the file from Apple's server and still have it on my Mac at home. Send me an email and we can set up a transfer of it.

 
Every OS from 1984 up until 1998, plus Apple II and Macintosh utilities, upgrades, and drivers.

It was intended for Apple Support technicians.

Well I had no problems with that Legacy CD from the first time I downloaded it from that link. But as you all talked about corrupted media I just tried to install the sys 7.5.3 on my mini vMac ...

Could you send me Mini vMac Raw images of 7.5.3?

 
Why are a few people making such a big deal out of 7.5.3? It is so easy to get it working...I even have a 7.5.3 CD if anyone needs an .iso that badly!

 
Now, since everybody seems to be multiposting these days… This is what I said in the other related topic:

I can confirm what slomacuser says. I just try to install 7.5.3 from the floppies images found on the so-called Legacy CD Rar. It went just fine in Mini vMac. Disk Copy does indeed think image #8 has a bad checksum. Then what? Just mount the image and skip the checksum test! It's just that easy, really.
Note you may want to set Mini vMac emulation speed to 1x before mounting the image, in order to have the time to click on "skip" before it's too late! 8-)

Anyway, I posted the Mini vMac 7.5.3 .dsk 24 Mb image I just created (standard installation on a virtual Macintosh SE, no other software). Hopefully that will reduce the number of multiposts about System 7.5.3 around here, since IMHO it's one of the crappiest OS released by Apple. Basically useless since all Macs capable of running it can (and should) be upgraded to 7.5.5, and those who can should be upgraded to at least 7.6.1. Just my two cents, though! :)
