After hours upon hours of transferring files from the Internet to CD to Hard Disk to Floppy (& for the System One image, to another floppy)& with alot of help from Thrashbarg, I finally got System 1.1 running on my Plus...once...(& after ALOT of Trial & Error)
I did the 'ol tape trick to format my only TDK-brand floppy to 400K, as it's the only floppy which worked (my Maxells didn't work). I was able to write System 1.1 to it.
My SE just plain refused to read the disk, & the Plus read it after the 3rd try, & then never worked again.
Does anyone know of a brand of floppies still being sold that works well w/ the tape trick? (I know it's a longshot, but I should at least ask...) Tomorrow (well, Today, as it's 2:47AM as of press time) I plan on going to buy some floppies so I can install System 7.5.3 on my LCII & 6.0.8 on my SE, & plus I still need to write some floppies for SirPaul, so maybe I can grab some LD floppies at the Surplus if I see any, but those chances are slim...
