| Acquiring System 7.0 |
Posted by: Some_Person on 2009-03-12 15:02:24
Many years ago, back when I was in elementary school, I stupidly deleted the System and Finder files from my Macintosh SE. Back then, it ran System 7.0.1. Because I have no installation media for System 7, I was forced to load System 6.0.7 on the machine. Unfortunately, my printer requires a special extension to work that requires System 7, so it is in a useless state. I am currently unable to transfer files to the machine, thanks to it being a pre-FDHD model.
I was hoping that someone would be able to send me an 800k disk with the System and Finder files from System 7.0.x. I would really appreciate this, and am willing to pay a few dollars for this service. Please note that if the files are compressed I would need the decompressor, too, as I do not even have Stuffit Expander.
Thank you very much if you are able to help me.

I thought 6.08 had the sys 7 printing stuff. Keyword: special extension.

Why 6.07??? Because it is the latest version that I have on 800k disk.
It would probably be most helpful if you tell us what the printer is. It is a StyleWriter II, which requires the TrueType extension. There is a System 6 version of it, but I do not have it on 800k disk. I only have the System 7 version.

Someone sold me a System 7 Pack together with a 6100.Not useful for me.
It runs only on 68k macs and can be downloaded from Apple.

It's possible to get a zip drive for the SE and use that.

Please help me. I still do not have System 7. I am failing miserably with a null modem cable, due to lack of a decent terminal program for the Mac. Could someone please mail me System 7 along with a copy of ZTerm?

Would raw disk images of the floppies be good? (They could be written with something like rawrite.c)
I could get you those.
Also, I could get a windoze version of said rawrite, and an ubuntu version, and an OSx version...

Nevermind. I bought some System 7.0 disks on eBay. Everything is fine now, and my null modem cable works for transferring files. I was also able to use the cable to get my SE online.
