You can write them on the DVD or CD drive, I believe. You can do anything on SCSI chain, almost. O.S. 9 [and/or the Lombard] may not allow booting from external drive with system 7.1. Not sure if the cut-off is 7.5.* or 8.*. So, difficult to network Lombard and Duo, without upgrading Duo software. Similarly, unable to boot from anything in SCSI chain with 7.1.

[Has nyone tried to use global Village FAXModem software with lombard? Otherwise, how do you read/retrieve archived copies of FAXes sent via Global Vill?] Look at Apple for "Powerbook G3 Series Read Me" for some of the odd configurations you may need.
