Macintosh Garden has the 660AV/840AV CD Install Me First at http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/macintosh-os-71x <http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/macintosh-os-71x>
My family’s first Mac was a 660AV and I still have the original disks, you should be able to boot from the install floppy and then use that CD. I seem to remember that the CD Install Me First wasn’t bootable for some reason, although the machine itself was capable of booting from CD. > On May 13, 2015, at 7:42 PM, Violet Cloud <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi everyone :) > > I just got a quadra 660av, I even got the original system disks.
