You can grab MacOS 7.5.3 for free off of Apple's FTP site. They don't have
MacOS 7.5.5 install disks, just the upgrade, as 7.5.5 doesn't like some
hardware combinations sold by Apple. The SE/30 should be fine (I used to run
7.5.5 on mine) 7.5 does suck up more RAM then 7.0 or 7.1, but it installs
just about everything by default. You can toss a bunch of stuff to free up
RAM.

So, what's the error message you get when you
open this .sit archive
in version 1.5?
IIRC, the SE/30 can have up to OS 7.5.5. Somewhere.... on Apple's
Web
site is the Apple Spec Database, which would tell you
for sure. The SE/30
will support more than 8 MB RAM if you have MODE32 installed and you have
32-bit addressing enabled.
But before updating your OS, check other things, like making sure the
old Stuffit Preferences, engines, or Extensions are removed before trying
a
newer-than-1.5 version of Stuffit. Try unstuffing
through the menu
commands. Try unstuffing by drag-and-drop.

The problem is that none of those available and more advanced versions
will run on 7.0.1 which is on the SE30. I harbor a hazy recollection
that there are practical limitations on how 'new' a system one can run
on that machine. Am I close?
