Apple is weird about what they have for free download and what they don't. 7.0 is available for the 68k machines and 7.5.2 and updates to 7.5.5 are available for the early powermacs (and 68k) but 7.1.x and 7.6x are not. I wonder why they don't just release everything up to 9.1 for free since they EOL them all and new machines are OSX only (9.2.2 still supported?) -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
