>What is the best Setup/best OS for this PowerBook?

System 7.5.5.

>What are the do's and what are the don't's for used gear?

I would reformat the hard drive.  I always do that as soon as I get used 
equipment.

By the way you can give MacOS 8 a whirl, but its so sluggish compared to 
7.5.5 that I just can't stand it.  I always go 7.5.5 because its 
lightning fast, free, and not that bad stability wise.

And now that we're on the subject, I'll throw out a question to the list. 
 I still don't see the point of running 8 on any 040.  It's not like any 
68k software requires MacOS 8 is it?  Except maybe that last 68k version 
of netscape, which I use iCab anyway.
