Correct, Apple has a few versions of System 6, System 7.0.1, and System 7.5.3 available for download. You do need Stuffit Expander to expand the archives, but High Density disk images inside should be writeable with rawrite or similar, even on a PC.

Hrm, although your post says an "SE FDHD", which may or may not have a high density drive. And Mac 800k disks can't be written to on a PC.

If you can't create the disks from Apple's downloads, let me know, I can send you a set.

a SE FDHD has 1.44MB drives, its a 68000 4MB max system.

I would recommend either OS 6.08 ,7.01, or &.1 for that system (I run OS 6.08 on mine).

Both 7.01 and 6.08 are available from Apples website in disk image form (7.1 is not available free). Any mac can convert those images back to real disks as long as you have a floppy drive connected to it.

While 7.5.x is available from Apples website, it is not floppy based just chunck of an archive split up and it need reassembled. 7.5.x would use up all your ram anyway.

If you do not have another mac with a floppy to make the images you can contact me and I will make some for you (just send me a box of blank disks and return postage if you are in the US).
