There is no such thing as an 8.1 ROM. The ROM in a Mac remains the same regardless of system software. You'll need a Quadra ROM to run Basilisk II, which you can dump off of any Quadra or Centris that you legally own. Then, you need the OS 8.1 install CD, which you can get off of eBay. I suggest that you just go out and look for an actual Quadra to liberate. The performance will be better, you can use SCSI peripherals and NuBus cards, and you'll be able to run A/UX, Linux, and BSD.Official 68kMLA Music and NeXT Expert

Perhaps he means 'CD-ROM', which the '8.1 CD' technically is./Mr Lynn Curator of: SE (6.0.4), SE w. 020 accelerator (6.0.8), SE w. no HD, IIfx (7.1), IIci (bad HD); plus various PPCs in family (blue G3/350 is main Mac these days). |

It sounds more as if he is asking for a ROM that would run Mac OS 8.1. The ROM that comes to mind is the Quadra 840AV ROM.------------------

The Quadra 840av ROM is too big at 2MB. It's the only 68k machine ROM that will not work with Basilisk II. I'd suggest a Quadra 950 or 800 ROM instead...but since I have neither of these machines, I don't have the ability to get the ROM file...666th poster and 666th thread-creator

nevermind i found both a quadra 700 (worst known 1m rom file) and the macOS 8.1 there is a little problem...i have only barebones equipment the 8.1 os was found at some spanish site (it looked kinda like the apple page.) i remember reading in a guide that the out of date utilities equipment can be downloaded free of charge on the help servers but i cant find disk copy which is needed(it said 6.1 on the os) i havent really wanted to mess around with the os. how do you change the background?
