I think that you should try system 7.0.1 first to see if that
works. It requires 6 floppies I believe. I am actually in a similar
situation as you. I just recently started playing with old macs. If
you download system 7.0.1 from apple's ftp site (given on the second
link) you will have to extract it with stuffit expander (I did this on
my ibook, then I transferred the image files to my PC and used a program
called winimage.) Winimage can read mac image files and write them to
floppy disks. You should probably install stuffit expander on your PC
and install winimage and do what I did. For your mac pluses and your
SEs you must use 800k disks (they can't read 1.44 mb floppies). But for
the SE/30s and newer they can read 1.44mb disks. If you have any
problems or questions, please e-mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maybe I
can learn some more too. I've included some very useful links below.
Good luck, and have fun!

Hi Guys ... I've just recently aquired a number of Mac's eg Classic,
Plus, SE, SE/30 (two),and a Classic II.
I've never worked on Macs before having always had (can I say it here)
PC's. So I'm learning about macs.
I bought a Quantum 240 Mg drive on eBay and an operating system (Ver
7.3.5 plus upgrade to 7.5.5)
I've been told that the dirve has been low level formatted and now I
want to format it (Initalize it, I think you call it)
and then install the systen 7.3.5.
I've unpluged the original drive and plugged in the new drive which I
have set the ID to 0
Disk 1 of the set is for suitable for the computer I'm seting it up
for, however when I use disk 1 it loads
the system off fthe floppy but when using "Apple HD SC setup" it can't
see the SCSI drive.
What have I done wrong.....or should I have done something else first
... any ideas?
Eddie
