OK guys, excellent suggestions. I have some good news and some bad news.

The Macintosh Classic I have now is indeed a Classic 1. Following Phreakout's instructions, I successfully booted from the ROM, formatted a new 1.44 MB floppy disk, copied the System Folder and "blessed" the System Folder. I then ejected the disk and inserted it in my SE/30, which I then powered on. While the SE/30 booted to a Happy Mac, it shortly thereafter displayed this message:

"This startup disk was created with a "Minimum" installer script and will not work on this model Macintosh. Use a standard installer script to update the disk for different models." Then it prompted me to restart, after which it automatically ejected the floppy.

JRL: When writing the "Network Access" disk image to a floppy, why will the Floppy Image Writer program only allow me to write files with ".img" and ".imz" extensions if I'm not supposed to rename the extension? Is this abnormal?

Thanks again for your help!
