MacOS 7.7 Prototype Drive Imaging
Posted by: Johnnya101 on 2022-06-22 06:51:45 I didn't even look close at the contents. I can see if it really is a true 7.7 install and make a toast image.

Posted by: LaPorta on 2022-06-22 07:48:36 That would solve tons of issues!
Posted by: Johnnya101 on 2022-06-22 08:10:36 Just checked, and unless I'm looking at the wrong one, the one on that drive is for 7.6...
Posted by: Phipli on 2022-06-22 08:11:39 Its in the folder called a2c5. Sorry I'm not being more use. I've done nothing other than sleep work and the necessities for days. Its a 7.6 installer with a 7.7 updater attached.

Posted by: Johnnya101 on 2022-06-22 08:51:04 Oh, that's where it says it. Looks like this version is before they even changed the what's new notes.

Posted by: jajan547 on 2022-06-22 12:37:46 That’s hilarious 😂

Posted by: David Cook on 2022-06-22 15:08:54 Since this is a disk image (rather than file copy), has anyone tried running undelete (like from Norton Utilities) to see if there are any other interesting files?
Posted by: Phipli on 2022-06-22 16:36:34 Excuse the manic flashing. I did a clean install on a Performa 630 (68040). Seems to work fine. Should work ok on an LC 475, they are similar machines in some ways. Related memory controller and same processor at least.
Posted by: jajan547 on 2022-06-22 18:12:56 Wonderful, I am beyond happy to see it. I'm going to do this myself right now.

How'd you do this just tried off a disk and can't get it to work same symptoms.
Posted by: Phipli on 2022-06-22 23:32:54 How'd you do this just tried off a disk and can't get it to work same symptoms. Did you do a clean install? I ran the installer application and created a brand new System Folder on the 630.
Posted by: jajan547 on 2022-06-22 23:36:25 Did you do a clean install? I ran the installer application and created a brand new System Folder on the 630. I booted from a 7.5 image upgrade to 7.6.1 and then upgraded to 7.7. Did I do something wrong?
Posted by: Phipli on 2022-06-23 00:14:50 I booted from a 7.5 image upgrade to 7.6.1 and then upgraded to 7.7. Did I do something wrong? I just ran the 7.7 installer straight, while booted from another disk. I used the uncustomised install for the OS and Macintalk, but deselected everything else. You don't need to install 7.5 or 7.6 first. It sorts everything it needs.
