Flanzy, I can help you here until you make it on over to the 1st PowerMacs List...
>I sensed that I needed to use 7.0 or later for this computer. The 5200CD originally came with 7.5.1 and as such probably won't run on anything older. Yes, stick with 7.5.3 unless and until you can find a later version of System 7 or perhaps 8.1 on CDROM. 8.5 and later will be really slow on this Mac. By the way, 7.5.5 is a free update to 7.5.3 (just three more floppies --- not bad after you've already done the first 19...) >I downloaded all 19 parts of 7.5.3 onto my computer with the intention >of putting each file on a separate floppy. Yes, that's right however you could also just dump all the image files on the desktop and run them from there is necessary. >I could not get part 1 on a floppy because I needed 1k more of space. Reformat (erase) that floppy and then see how much room you have. >I then saw something that made me think I needed "system enabler 406" - >which I downloaded - but don't see how it fits in. Yes, most Macs running 7.5.3 (and some other Systems 7) need a specific System Enabler in order to run. It's a small file that goes in the Extensions Folder. FYI later versions of the OS did away with System Enablers. -David -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
