Actually, I have an old 68k Mak SE that has a decompressor like stuffit
that's only 224kb. I should be able to fit that and finder/system onto a floppy
together. All I should need is a floppy to boot, and "Mindexpander" to
decompress bootx. Now, could somebody tell me where I can get a OS 7.6+ finder and
system that's under 1200k combinded?
Thanx,
ES
