You'll probably get your best deal from someplace like ebay on an OS cd... 8.6 is a good choice. If your going to max out the RAM and you have need of features of OS 9, thats an option too.
You can pick up an OS CD from somebody like Powerbook Guy or someplace like that if you don't want to fool with the auctions, but you'll end up paying a little more. The CD's are bootable and will have the disk utilities you need. One thing to keep in mind is the difference between getting another Powerbooks "restore CD" -say an 8.6 CD from a Wallstreet- vs a Full Install CD. I started out with my 3400 installing from a Wallstreet restore CD. 8.6 laid down clean, but I did have to go find the 3400 Modem/Ethernet Extension off Apples website, download it and install it, as that is machine specific and won't install from a restoer CD. If you install from a full CD, you'll be fine and not need to do anything else. Cheers, Sionnach __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.
