There is an option if you have an intel box with DOS/98/NT/other $%@#.

A program called "transmac" will read mac bin (and hqx, I believe, but
don't trust me on that one) and decompress the file to disk in proper MAC
format.  I used this to install 7.5.3 on a quadra 650 with a new hard
drive (i.e. no MacOS).  I used an NT box which was lying around.

Let me know if you need more on this - I'd be happy to help you as much as
I can.
