I've done it with both my powerbooks. Did it just today, in fact. The problem is when you have mismatched CPU's on the host Mac and the Powerbook...I had to reinstall OS8 on my PB540 after I installed the PPC version of OS 8 on it ;-) Updates are particularly pesky... *third* time I reinstalled OS 8 on my PB 540 was after I'd successfully re-installed the 68K version of OS 8, then slapped on the 8.1 update, again, in SCSI disk mode...:-/ >>> Any time the installer automatically looks to see whether you install the PPC version or the 68K version you'll have problems like this.
