By far the easiest way to do this is make the floppies on another mac (one with a built in floppy drive; most USB drives will _not_ work). Gamba's website has instructions.
I have heard that it can be done on a PC using the free utility rawrite.exe (or similar) that comes with most Linux distributions: I have not tried this. The easiest way I can think of is this: 1) Download System 7.0.1 and the tune up *to a Mac* from here: http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/Older_System/System_7.0.x/ 2) Open the files with the freeware Stuffit Expander, available here: http://www.aladdinsys.com/downloads/index.html 3) Make the physical floppies with Disk Copy. If Disk Copy isn't on the Mac you are using, it can be downloaded here: http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/Utilities/Disk_Copy/ You will need 1.44 MB floppies. Bring extras in case some don't work. The tuneup requires a 800k (same as PC 720k) floppy. 4) Install System 7.0.1 on the PB. If you need/want to reformat the entire hard drive, you can boot off of the Disk Utilities floppy. Or you could ask the LEM swap list for a copy of 7.0.1. Make sure to apply the tuneup at some point. -Eric J ===== PB145, iceBook Classic II(x2), Performa 405,IIci 6100/66 DOS Compatible, Blue and White G3 and random bits and pieces You are not drowning in old computer parts until you start charting tides... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
