	You can make a 7.1 boot disk for a Quadra 840av by adding the file
'System Enabler 088' into the System Folder. It can be found on your nearest
Apple FTP server, using a path something like:

ftp://ftp.apple.com.au/pub/asu/Macintosh/System/System_Enablers/
ftp://ftp.info.apple.com/Apple.Support.Area/Apple.Software.Updates/US/Macintosh/System/System_Enablers/

	There is a ReadMeFirst.txt file which matches enablers to Mac models,
for those with other models who may wish to make a 7.1 boot disk.
