Panther?! I don't need no stinkin' Panther! Gimme that ol' timey OS! Aqua?! Protected memory! UNIX?! Fads, I say, trends soon to be tacky!
OK, well, perhpas not, but I am looking to buy a complete set of System 7.5 floppies. I have a Color Classic I'm trying to get running. Offer, hmm, $20 or any reasonable offers. Looking for full system disks.
I wanna see movies of my dreams.

You can download 7.5.3 for free from Apple. Right here

I'm not exactly sure if you'd be able to translate that into floppy disks, but it is free.
You could plug the drive into another Mac and just copy the disk images onto it and load a universal system if you have another suitably old machine. Even a 7200/7500/8500/9500 can run 7.5.3, so it shouldn't be too difficult to get it working that way.
