No it doesn't - I found this out the hard way on my IIci (which curiously uses nearly the same case) :(. You will have to find a disk tools floppy, the 7.5 floppy from Gamba's site (already mentioned) will boot it straight off. Boot from that, de-bless the current system folder (move the Finder and System files out of there - for safekeeping i throw them in a stuffit archive) and rename it to something other than 'System Folder'. Having said all that I'd have said System 7.6.1 was a better option uless you have less than 8MB RAM..... -- Mark Benson AIM - SilValleyPirate Visit FlatPackMacs online: <http://fpm.gotdns.com> Mac LC Central -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
