This site: http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/ should have everything you want to know about the older system software.
Personal opinion: Install 7.1 first, then install 7.5.3. When installing 7.5.3, Disk Copy reads all of the separate image files and mounts a single volume. This should work fine from a CD. I can give you an image of the modified 7.1 Disk Tools disk (with enabler) if you need it. 7.0.1 won't install on the 180. --- "Gary F. Daught" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Greetings.
