Yes, it can talk. Actually, the 128k Mac can talk with
the right version
of MacInTalk (anyone remember the Talking Moose).
Neat. I did a custom install, but don't remember
seeing it. Where is it/can I
download a copy to install from Apple's downloads site or something?
It might have been an optional installer rather than being part of the
main OS installer as a custom item. If you have a 7.5 CD, check some of
the optional items on it. I would check my 7.5.5 CD, but I forgot it at
home (and didn't bother checking last night like I should have) You can find a list of the older Apple software at:

Yeah, that's where I got the copy of 7.5.3 to install onto it. Very
useful site.
Now, a new problem. When I try and run the 7.5.5 upgrade, it starts to
install (with the progress meter), and then says that it can't be
installed and aborts. I downloaded it from the Apple 'Older Software
Downloads' page on apple's site, and the Disk Copy images
checksum-verify ok.
Ideas? It's not a huge deal, as all this machine will probably do is be
used to talk, but it'd be nice to get the bugfixes.
Thanks
