The 1400 isn't even an 'Old World' system, it's a Nubus system. Give that it's an upgraded 1400, not a 3400 those refs aren't much use. For a 1400 you'll need to install mkLinux: http://www.mklinux.org/ more info see: http://lppcfom.sourceforge.net/fom-serve/cache/350.html there's a fair bit of information on getting it to run on a 1400... But note: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Additional PowerBook Support: Under MkLinux, the PowerBook 1400, 2300, and 5300 are partially supported. External SCSI support is not working yet, nor is support for the internal modem or card-based ethernet (internal). PCMCIA cards are not supported on any PowerBook. Thus, the systems are a bit isolated, but they're useful for development, etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Not having ethernet on a Unix system is somewhat like riding a bicycle with square wheels: not very enjoyable, far too much work, and never more than an odd curiosity...
