| Where did everyone find their copy of 7.6.1? | |
| Posted by: LC_575 on 2011-01-07 20:28:08 It's the only version of Mac OS that I don't have around, and yet everyone else seems to have it. Is there some spot on the internet I missed? Or perhaps an eBay store? | |

| Posted by: LCGuy on 2011-01-08 02:36:57 I think he's after a full installer...these days, eBay or the Trading Post (or perhaps if you're lucky, Freecycle or Craigslist if you have one in your area) might be the way to go. As for me - I got my copy back in 1997 with my new PowerBook 1400. | |
| Posted by: highlandcattle on 2011-01-08 04:07:33 I got mine with my Spartacus | |
| Posted by: Strimkind on 2011-01-08 09:00:01 I got mine in a box of free crap I got with my IIfx | |
| Posted by: Unknown_K on 2011-01-08 11:05:34 Think I got mine from a 7500 I purchased from ebay that was pickup only (and quite a few original OS CDs along with it). Worth the 25 minute drive one way thats for sure. | |

| Posted by: Unknown_K on 2011-01-08 13:20:03 I prefer retail CDs but have a few OEM as well. | |
| Posted by: quinterro on 2011-01-08 19:27:44 Found mine in a Quadra 800's CD-ROM tray that I bought from a booth at the Raleigh Flea Market Mall that was once property of SAS. | |
| Posted by: macgreg on 2011-01-08 21:23:21 I got mine from eBay. It's the CD version. | |
| Posted by: Bunsen on 2011-01-09 00:52:28 eBay, CD. | |
| Posted by: mx-v on 2011-01-09 08:44:17 CD from a nice guy over at system7today.com's forum. Update to 7.6.1 from Apple's site IIRC. | |
| Posted by: protocol7 on 2011-01-09 08:59:58 I still haven't found one. | |
| Posted by: mac2geezer on 2011-01-09 10:18:47 If anyone wants one, I have a spare CD of 7.6, and the 7.6.1 update is available as a free download from system7today or Apple. PM if interested. | |
| Posted by: LC_575 on 2011-01-11 22:28:27 It turns out i DO have 7.6! I was rummaging through the hard drive of my 1400c and found the install floppy images for it. | |
| Posted by: trag on 2011-01-12 09:39:29 I think I got 7.6 on a Power Computing CD and 7.6.1 on another Power Computing CD for a later model. | |
| Posted by: Anonymous Freak on 2011-01-12 10:02:42 I got mine back in 1997, both with a machine new, and as a separate CD. | |
| Posted by: IIfx on 2011-01-14 17:26:09 On ebay, shrink-wrapped. I bought 2 copies to be safe. | |
| Posted by: Forrest on 2011-01-15 21:36:05 I found 7.6.1 on my SuperMac System Software CD that was packaged with my C500. Incredibly, years later I used it to install 7.6.1 on my PowerBook520c! | |
