quick question re macintosh classic and a boot disk

[chelseayr]

always been used to cd-booting up to till now, so seeing I don't even know much anything about booting disks on these kind of early systems I thought I'll ask here to be certain..

would one of the two 1.4mb images on https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/macintosh-system-6x or the first link under 1.4mb list on https://vintageapple.org/gamba2/bootdisks.html either easily do for osx 10.4 to write through an imation superdisk onto?

just basically want to be able to get a macintosh classic to beyond the question diskicon (unless the disk drive isn't happy but thats another subject tbd) and to poke around with checking basic functionalities for now .. thanks?

(and although its nothing to do with softwares haha no don't worry I won't leave a suspect battery sitting in it!)

You can boot from ROM: Cmd-Opt-X-O

so would the link I had found above be the correct one to try write through the imation superdisk to a hopefully good disk for to boot the macintosh classic to a basic desktop with? thanks
(and @ymk if the drive and/or disk won't respond then at least i'll try the rom option instead and cheers)

I'm fairly certain 6.0.8L will not work. It supports only the Classic II and a handful of other Macs.

The other 6.0.8 images you listed should work.
