<P> The best way (<I>i.e.</I> most legally acceptable) to get a ROM |

image is to produce it from your old Mac. Take a program like CopyROM, |
| 40 |

download it onto your old Mac, and use it to produce the image file, |
| 41 |

which you then upload to your OS X Mac. </P> |

<P> It is possible to use Basilisk II with a CD-ROM, but because most bootable |
| 77 |
|
CDs have a minimal System Folder, it is better if you use a disk image with the |
| 81 |
|
or create one yourself. If you have some time, and access to a MacOS install CD, |
| 82 |
|
then these instructions will help you do the latter. </P> |

<P> Note that there is currently no Install CD image on Apple's Web site - |
| 85 |
+ |
they only seem to have MacOS 7.5.3 floppy disk images (all 19 of them). |
| 86 |
+ |
If you do not have a friend with an install CD, you can possibly make one |
| 87 |
+ |
by copying the System Folder from a bootable OS 7 or 8 CD, and burning that |
| 88 |
+ |
onto a CD with the floppy disk images. |
