and just so you know you can download the 19 floppy disk image of system 7.5.3 for free from appleits not the best thing to stuff on an old compact but if it can save an old machine

You can also get System 6.0.3, 6.0.5, 6.0.8, 7.0 and 7.0.1 as well. 6.0.8 is probably the best version to run on a Classic... it's what I run on mine anyway. IIRC it's 6.0.3 that's on the ROM image.
