Grab 7.0.1 disk images and Apple Diskcopy plus System 7 Tuner 1.1.1; Apple doesn't distribute 7.0.1 by floppy because it's only required for machines that shipped with it -- that is, the changes don't affect the earlier Macs (except for a small change to SANE that you'd have to run benchmarks to find). > I went back to them and requested to renew, BUT they told me what they can >do is to copy new version onto the old disks, and there is no way to replace >it with a new one. I don't know if it's legal to copy new version onto old >package and sell it as a new product. They didn't offer to do this. System 7.0 is the new product, and you own it already. They offered to let you upgrade to a newer version that you don't really need, for free. > Besides, I have two questions: > (1) Why can't I renew the product in warranty period because of mis-shipment? what you got *is* the current version that Apple ships > (2) How come Apple Inc don't print version number on box of system 7? they did; it's 7.0, which is what you got -- -- Bill Johnston (johnston@me.udel.edu) -- 38 Chambers Street; Newark, DE 19711; (302)368-1949
