Hi,
I have to hardware support many Mac's of differing types in an office
environment. One user of a 8500/120 ( the only one in the office ) has
had a severe virus attack which infected system and application files.
The viruses have been removed but the damaged system files are causing
bombing out. The OS on this m/c is 7.5.5 and the install CDROM has been
lost. As this system contains vital data files any disaster recovery
must not lose these.
I do have immediate access to OS 7.6.1 but I need to know whether this
version will be ok. I have used several different hard drives in this
machine and it will not boot versions 7.5.1 or 7.5.3 but will 7.5.5 !!

Any information on the OS versions this machine will run will be
gratefully  received.
