Thank you for your valuable time, Ice D Pox. ---- Not sure exactly what you are trying to do. You can download various disks for old OS directly from Apple - i.e. 7.5.5 as disk image files and they would probably burn to floppy disk by using dd on Linux. www.info.apple.com dd if=/path/to/Apple_Disk.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 Those are High Density floppy disk images. If I recall correctly, there were 2 or 3 disk images. I have the 'net install' version which isn't going to help since it is only for systems that are already working and I can't legally give you a copy per Apple's restrictions.
