Does this help?
https://tidbits.com/2019/10/28/redownload-archived-macos-installers-to-address-expired-certificates/
It links to a High Sierra installer at
<https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/macos-high-sierra/id1246284741?ls=1&mt=12>
I may have an old one that needs the clock changed as per the first URL,
let me know.
cheers,

Thanks for the offer Jason. I’ll hold that one in reserve for now.
I'm still hope to find a way of getting a High Sierra boot USB made
once I’ve sorted the more urgent need to get the work I need off the
MacBook HD.

I have a Snow Leopard DVD. Is a disk image of that any use to you?
(Assuming I can remember how to make one after all these years lol)

I thought that too Sam so tried again with the MacBook wired to the
router. Same result though.
I started looking at making a High Sierra boot USB disk but Apple
make it very difficult. Even Apple’s own High Sierra download links
just directs to the App store where the High Sierra download no
longer works - it just defaults to a Catalina download.
Think my only option to get the work I need from the MacBook is to
take the SSD out, put it in a case and connect via USB. Shame the old
Firewire 'Target Disc Mode” doesn’t work with USB.
Cheers

Afternoon all,
My Old 2009 MacBook was working fine this morning but is now
suddenly refusing to boot up. It gets to the grey screen and boot
up progress bar, freezes for a while and then offers me the system
re-install, restore from back up (nope, don’t have one), and
first aid options. If I choose the re-install option it reports
that, “the recovery server could not be contacted”. It’s
running High Sierra (that’s the latest OS it’s able to use) and
has a 1TB SSD.
Ideas anybody?
Thanks
Phil
PS. It’s especially annoying ‘cause I did some work on the
laptop this morning that I now need access to.
