Mac OS 7.5.5 (Umax SuperMac S900 & J700 series)

This is the original install CD for the Umax S900 and J700 Series SuperMac clones, version 3.0 - It contains a full Macintosh System install of Mac OS 7.5.5

Top DL above contains a zip compressed .iso image, accessible to most OS's
MD5 checksum: 198b7c0b544ac35c3838b47b6f69fb8f *umax-S900-J700-755.zip
Adapted from the original CD .dmg/.rar file as provided by Byteman.

There is only one CD to this install set, choose one that suits best from above (.zip or .rar).

Additional Software Included on the CD:

Inside the "UMAX Extras" folder, you will find "NetDoubler" from Asanté, "Conflict Catcher3" from Casady & Greene, and "TechTools Pro" from Micromat Computer Systems. You will also find FWB's "Hard Disk Toolkit Personal Edition" and "CD-ROM Toolkit".

Plus complete versions of the Supermac S900 and J700 User Guides, plus user guides for NetDoubler, TechTools Pro, Conflict Catcher, Hard Disk Toolkit and CD-ROM Toolkit (PDFs).

Caveat: Some of the supplied 3rd party software will run only on SuperMac hardware. e.g. TechTools Pro

Compatibility
Architecture: PPC

The included SSW 7.5.5 is perhaps the easiest system of this era I've had to install. Usually I've installed from those multiple parts for 7.5.3 from Apple and then updated from there to 7.5.5 - This was totally painless to install in comparison, using this CD.

Better still, it runs great on SheepShaver. The screenshots above, excluding the CD scan were taken on my SheepShaver install.

I've also tested it on Basilisk II. The CD boots up fine on BII. The installer however refuses to install the System Software, as it detects that BII is not a PPC Mac.

I do not recommend this for any Mac other than onto suitable PPC hardware or SheepShaver (Old World ROM).
