Can anyone help me with creating a boot floppy for a Color Macintosh?
I have a machine whose hard disk died and I'm trying to replace it
but I don't have a boot floppy containing DiskTools to format the new
(Apple) hard drive. I *do* have an install CD for System 7.5 but it
doesn't seem to want to boot on the Color Classic even if I hold "C"
down when I start up the Mac. I'd be happy to pay for shipping and
something extra for the effort involved in making the DiskTools boot
disk.
I think at one time you had to hold down both the C and D keys to
boot from CD on the old Macs.
I don't have a floppy drive any more so cannot help there, even
though I have just about all the Apple developer CDs ever issued,
including floppy images of the various systems.
