[MACEP] Arrgh, need 8.6 or 8.1 OS to borrow

[Bruce.Scherer at oregoned.org]

I might have an 8.6 CD. Give me a day or two to check my home, it's
likely in a moving box somewhere. If someone else can find one first,
chime in.

Mac OS 8.6 was a great upgrade. A moment of silence for the Classic
environment. Within the next two years I'll likely be swapping out my
last PowerPC-based Mac and running Intel. All those Classic multimedia
CD-ROMs will just have to sit for archaeologists to find one day. Alas.
Anyone have experience with Classic environment emulators?

Murphy's Law & my hesitance to part w/ my Mac 7100 struck
simultaneously.

I was cleaning up the 7100, finally going to post it on Craig's list or
dispose of it in some way. (Yes I'm still living in the stoner ages, or
in my case the Stoner ages.) Cleaning files, software, etc. and ran
Norton Disk Doctor one last time. In the middle it crashed. Of course I
had just wiped clean my external back-up hard drive and sometime in the
last 7 years, between a move overseas & back I have lost not only the
sys 8.6 disk I had but the original sys 7.5? disks that came with it.

So, I know I can download 7.5 from Apple but I'll be forever swapping
disks & I had a smooth running 8.6 OS until yesterday.

Is there any MACEPER who could allow me to borrow a CD or send an disk
image to me, so I can get this 7100/80 back up prior to its departure
from my domicile? Anyone interested in it? I can throw in a modem,
QuickCam, external HD & oodles of software.
