QuickTime 5 was one of the shortest-lived versions of QuickTime, released in April 2001 and superseded by QuickTime 6 a little over a year later. This version was the last to have greater capabilities under Mac OS 9 than under Mac OS X, and the last version of QuickTime to support Mac OS versions 7.5.5 through 8.5.1 on a PowerPC Mac and Windows 95. After you complete the purchase process, you can either download QuickTime Pro directly, or get a code to enter in QuickTime which will begin the upgrading process.

One of the biggest problems with using an older Macintosh with a68k processor is interoperability with more modern computers, overthe internet. Other shortcomings, such as a small amount of RAM orslow processor speed, can be compensated for at a minimal cost atthese machines' age. The world has moved beyond AppleTalk, however,and we will get along a lot better if we can use TCP/IP for filesharing and printing.
System 7.5.5 does not come configured to use TCP/IP for eitherprinting OR AppleShare. This article will show how to remedy thisshortcoming without running into the crashing, failure to install,and general badness I had to wade through.
The first time I tried to install a modern system 7.5.5 on mySE/30, I simply could not get it to work. It turns out that theproblem was due to my failure to install the updates in the correctorder. By installing the updates in the order I list below, you willarrive at a very functional and stable system.
I recommend this configuration for any 68k Mac with at least a68030 processor and 16MB of RAM. 16MB seems like a lot, but with ourold RAM being so cheap on eBay, 16MB is easy to get and veryimportant for a computer you intend to use on a daily or weeklybasis.
If you have a 68030 Mac with less than 16MB of RAM and no way toupgrade, there's still hope. Following this procedure but leaving outQuickTime 4 and MRJ leaves a System that will boot in just aboutexactly 4MB. This would leave 4MB for applications on an 8MBPowerBook.
CFM-68k Runtime Enabler Note:You will find that there is noneed to install CFM-68k Runtime Enabler 4.0 (required by Navaigtor4.0 and other software) if you follow the directions presented here.It is installed by LaserWriter 8.5.1.
Install System 7.5.5 | Top
The first step is to install System 7.5.3, which is downloadablefrom Applehere.Download all 19 disk images into one folder. After it is installed,install the System 7.5.5 Update, which is available from Applehere.Now you'll be running stock System 7.5.5. Restart.
Install OpenTransport | Top
To form a base to add network software onto, install OpenTransport1.1.2 (there's no need to install 1.1.1 first). Download ithere.Restart.
Install TCP/IP Networking Tools |Top
Now you'll install the updates that allow access to AppleShare andprinting via TCP/IP. Make sure you run the Network Software Selectorutility first to ensure you're using OpenTransport. Restart ifnecessary.
First, install the AppleShare Client 3.7.4. Download ithere.
Second, install the LaserWriter 8.5.1 updater. Download siximages:OneTwoThreeFourFiveSix
Restart.

Install QuickTime 4.0.3. I can't think of any particular reason toinstall this last 68k version instead of an older, possibly smallerversion, but it has been working very well for me. Actually, I thinkthis version supports Shockwave Flash movies, but don't quote me onthat. Download the QuickTime 4.0.3 installerhere.If that link doesn't happen to work, or you need a version localizedfor a different language, the page with download links ishere.
Install Appearance Manager 1.0.3. The only way this software isavailable from Apple is as part of the entire SDK, which is about 4MB in size. You're probably only interested in the Appearance CDEVand INIT. Download the 'manual install' file I developed for just theAppearance Manager software componentshere. When you've decompressedthe file, you'll find several folders, each named something insideyour System Folder. Put the items into the place in your SystemFolder indicated by the name of the folder they live in.
Don't forget to remove the 'Color' and 'WindowShade' controlpanels from your Control Panels folder. They are not necessary/notcompatible with the Appearance Manager. Place them in your 'ControlPanels (Disabled)' folder for safekeeping in case you decide toremove the Appearance Manager.
Restart.
Optional Java Support | Top
Install the Macintosh Runtime for Java 2.0. This software isn'tsupposed to run on 7.5.5, but it does so fine. It is the firstversion with a JIT compiler for 68k machines. Only install this ifyou have a fast 68040 and think you'll run Java programs (or want toimpress your friends with your nerdiness). To install it, downloadthe 'manual install' file I developedhere. When you've decompressed the file,you'll find several folders, each named something inside your SystemFolder. Put the items into the place in your System Folder indicatedby the name of the folder they live in.
Restart.
Completion! | Top
Party! You've now installed a very complete and functional System7.5.5. It should boot in about 6MB of RAM (assuming a 128k diskcache) and support the running of nearly any 68k compatible program.Connectivity is greatly enhanced due to the TCP/IP functionality, andthe stability is good.
Don't forget to read the follow-up, System 7.5.5 Favorite Add Ons to get the scoop onall the other software Apple should have provided out-of-the-box.
This configuration is exactly what I run for my day-to-day work ona Macintosh SE/30 modified with an Asante IIsi/SE-30 ethernet card,40Mhz DayStar Turbo040, IIsi adaptor card, and 80MB of RAM. It rocks.
