Problem solved, I should be receiving OS 7.6.1 on 19 floppies by the weekend
and the dear old PowerBook 145B will be back in use.
Regards to all.

I don't think that will work... You need to copy the disk images
contents onto the floppies, not the disk image files themselves... I
think your best bet might be to simply find a friendly neighborhood mac
person who can help you...
Also there is the possibility of using SCSI to do this.I would put a
bootable 7.55 system and all the necessary extra's on an external SCSI
drive and then boot and install from there.
You also need to install the Open Transport networking software and
Open Transport PPP if you want to dial up from the old 145B :~)
