No one believes you are trying to break in to such an old system for nefarious reasons, it’s too easy to bypass on OS 6 anyway as Kyle noted.
There was third-party s/w that would r/w PC format disks under OS 6. I have a stack of IIc Macs in the attic. I find it hard to throw away working computers. I probably have lots of games too come to think of it, but I’m sure there are more games still available on-line.
If you install OS 7.5.x boot from a basic OS on a floppy first and rename the system folder for a clean install. If you have existing third-party s/w you want to recover later you’ll need the old OS 6 Extensions folder.
Make sure your IIc reads modern floppies. Some of the older systems used a 785Kb(?) floppy, so if you have an old floppy drive you’ll also need to locate old floppies.
Another alternative to the floppies is to locate an Ethernet card for the IIc. OS 7.5.x supports TCP/IP as well as AppleTalk, but you’d still need software to share files with a PC.
