You can get 7.5.3 and the 7.5.5 upgrade for free from Apple...I did this to set up an old 7500 b/c my OS 9 cd wouldn't boot it...made floppy images with Disk Copy and it worked like a charm. 7.5.3 rocks b/c I believe it will run and boot nearly all Powermacs before the G3 systems. (Someone pls correct me if I am wrong!)
