Tried to install OS 7.5.3, 7.5.5, and 7.6 on a 2GB external Apple SCSI HD, but get these error messages : 1 - "The System Software 7.5 Installer Script does not recognize this Macintosh. Please use the original disks that came with your computer. The Installer cannot update the version of Macintosh System Software on the disk named "^0". Please remove the System F." 2 - "Mac OS 7.6 does not support this computer. Please refer to the documentation accompanying this System Software release. 3 - Not Supported, cannot modify a disk in an unsupported drive (message window from HD Setup).
I successfully initialized the 2GB SCSI external Apple HD, then did a low-level format, also successfully. But still cannot install OS 7.5.3, 7.5.5, or 7.6. According to the Apple specs these Systems do work with the PowerMac 7300. How can I get one of these Systems installed on the external HD ? -- : - ) - Vern Andrews - - - - - Oregon Trail Descendant < mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > ~~~ < mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Andrews Research & Education ~~ http://www.angelfire.com/ca2/VernAndrews/ http://members.fortunecity.com/vernandrews/indexresearch01.html -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
