Subject: I need basic help with OS 7.5.5 in a Mystic (LC 575)

This has probably been answered 1,000 times...sorry, have not been there to read it...

I have an LC 575 Logic Board running in my Color Classic (I'm in the USA, therefore 'Color', not 'Colour'). I have System Enabler 065 ver 1.1 in my system folders, with gbly resources modified per The Pickle's method for higher resolution and no VGA modification. I am using System Picker to select the OS I use from OSs 7.1.0, 7.1.2, 7.5.0, and 7.5.3, all of which I have installed and run perfectly.

I cannot get OS 7.5.5 to run. I have tried the ftp.apple.com upgrade from 7.5.3 and a fresh installation from a Power Mac 7300, 8600 and 9600 Series installation CD. This last one I installed by using the control panel "I Wish I Were..." to change the Gestalt ID to that of a Power Mac for installation. I have tried several other System Enablers (065 ver 1.2, 065 ver 1.1 unmodified, 702, 401). When I try to boot OS 7.5.5 I get a message that the Startup Disk doesn't work with this Macintosh, and that I should upgrade it from the latest Installer... This is the same with any Gestalt ID in 'I Wish I Were...'

Having been a dumb PC guy all my life I'm at a loss as to what I must do to get OS 7.5.5 to work...Any ideas? Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
