Hey gang, I'm fairly new to Compact Macs and was hoping someone could give me a point in the right direction. I managed a good deal on a few locally and thought it'd be neat to have one in the kitchen to check email and simple stuff like that.
Right now I'm working with a Color Classic - it turns on ok and soon gives the "where the heck did you put the System folder" icon. I've found a copy of System 6 (downloaded as a .sit file) to install on it but can't seem to make a bootable disk for it. Currently I'm working from an ibook running OS X.3 and using a usb driven VST floppy drive, and even managed to find a couple of Mac formatted floppies (I'm not sure if the CC's superdrive will accept IBM formatted floppies - like I said I'm new to the old school :) to try and revive the CC and install System 6. Is there anything special I'm missing in trying to make a bootable disk for the Classic other than copying the System Startup contents to a floppy and running with it? Any other tips on getting this show on the road would be greatly appreciated.
