I assume I would need the original hardware for this?
My oldest Mac is a 1995 MacBook running 7.6.1, the nicest classic OS I've seen. The battery's long been dead, but the machine still runs on mains power.

However, I get the feeling you are thinking of Mac OS - this is for the Apple IIgs - an entirely different beast. However, if you're interested in running old versions of Mac OS, give Basilisk II a try: http://basilisk.cebix.net/
Most Older OSes up to 7.5.5 can be downloaded directly from Apple last I checked. I particularly liked Mac OS 6.0.8 for it's simplicity.
