Found a 'Mac SE' on the street!

You can also download System 7.5.3 for free from Apple's website, and then download the 7.5.5 updater.

Gamba's site has all the links:

Woah. Completely forgot about AtEase....

Yeah.... what are the telltale signs that it's an AtEase dialog? Would an icon with the little folders with people show up in the dialog box?

Mac OS 7.6 should be ok for a Mac SE.

Actually 7.6 will not run on a Mac SE... it tops out at 7.5.5.

System specifications:

Macintosh SE
Macintosh SE (w/Super Drive)

System software:

System 6.0.x
System 7.0.1
System 7.5.3
System 7.5.5 update

Thanks all for answering...

I haven't tried anything yet since I just spray painted the Mac SE plastic case to a red fire hydrant type of color (looks a little like one - it will look good in my kid's bedroom and useful/fun for them.

So far, if I hear you guys right, my best bet would be to find/download Mac OS 7.5.5 from someone who can actually download and copy it on a FDHD diskette for me, right? - The problem is, I wish I knew someone that could do this for me, I'm surrounded by PC's.

Anybody willing to mail me the most needed diskette? (I live in Montreal Canada - postage can't cost too much) In return, I will send back a nice reward. (don't ask me what, it's a surprise! )

Let me know if you are interested here and I will send you a private message with my home address.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help reviving this old Mac SE

Cheers,

Philippe

If you can only download the System 7.5.3 installation disk images from a PC, see this site:
