I've got a Mac Quadra 660AV which refuses to
install any system software,
except System 7.1, which it refuses to boot from (apparently it needs a newer
version, but web pages about the Mac say it should work). I've tried System
7.1, 7.5 through 7.5.3, and Mac OS 7.6.
You should be able to get the 660 to boot 7.1 *with the right enabler*. From
my notes this should be System Enabler 088, which Apple confirms on
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP233
It goes in the System Folder. You might consider booting from a later Disk
Tools floppy and copying it in.
