Well this is confusing. I vaguely remember there being some discussion as to whether or not 9.2.2 will run on a NuBus machine, but don't remember an outcome.Ihe PB5300 is based on a NuBus architecture, and from what people have been able to figure out about 9.2.x, Apple seems to have removed some of the components needed for NuBus support.t won't run on a 5300 no matter what you do, although it can be hacked onto a 1400 with some difficulty.
In any case, the 1400 and 5300 are virtually the same machine (more or less the only difference is the shape and the fact that the 1400 has a faster CPU and maybe some cache depending on the model). If it will run on a 1400, it will run on a 5300.
This page <http://www.os9forever.com/os92x.html> says it will work on NuBus Macs with "limited success," whatever that means.
