If I remember correctly, a 68k machine cannot run an OS higher than 7.53 or so. Unless a PPC accelerator is installed of course. I don't know of any but there may have been PPC machines with only a floppie drive. Perhaps a laptop. Thus necessitating a floppy version. I can only assume you feel you need all of these versions as you intend to do a lot of Mac repair for fun or profit. This was not clear when you first posted your OS questions.
