I've never tried any upgrades on a Mac laptop before and have run into a snag with this one...
It's a PB 5300c, which I opened up and upgraded with a new 6 GB hard drive and a LapisColor video card, and at the same time swapped out the RAM expansion card to increase the memory from 24 MB to 40 MB. The drive isn't formatted at the moment. Well, I put everything back together and got the chime and the Happy Mac, and tried to boot the computer from an Apple 300 external CD-ROM drive with a Mac OS8 CD in it. It starts to boot and then gives the bomb icon and a "bus error", and it does it repeatedly no matter what I try--booting without the extensions, changing the SCSI ID of the CD-ROM, everything.
