Thank for the tip. This solved the second problem of my. In return I suggest two additional ways to fool the thing about awkward key combo. While struggling to hold the five keys at a time I turned the Mac around, with it's back to me, so I get reach the fifth switch with one free finger. For this method it's enough to have 2 fingers at your right hand. If you have 3 or more fingers in that hand, it's possible to hold 3 keys by your left hand AND take it off the table, come to the Classic back and switch the fool thing at last. Uhf. Also, I dare to bother you, my friends, with my first trouble. I'll repeat, the evil of me changed the partition table with Apple HD SC setup utility. After that I can neither initialize the disk, nor test it, nor see the disk any other way. I found more advanced HD SC setup util, v7.3.5, and managed to write it to Mac floppy, mounting it under Linux with HFS module. Both MacOS v7.0.1 Rus and v6.0.8 refuse to launch the program in a sea.bin format with a ~can't find APPL program~ message. > Alan O'Neil, Super Genius!!!
