Hi @ll,

I'm desperatly trying to install MacOS 7.6 on my old powerbook 3400 (144MB RAM/2GB/12xCD)..

At the moment there are 3 Partitions (all ~700 MB). One of the partions ist hfs+ with an installed MacOS 8.6 which is working fine and stable all the time!!!

Now I am trying to install MacOS 7.6 on one partition (which is HFS, *not* HFS+)...but I can't get it to work!!...I even went and got an original MacOS 7.6-Install-CD, that was specifically from an Powerbook 3400...But I still can't get it to work.

When I try to boot of the CD or try open the Installer (within the 8.6), I just get a message like "this software was not made for this computer...bla,bla,bla..".

I even tried and swapped MachID (with MachID-Wanna-Be Control Panel), but that still doesn't work. I also tried to apply the specific 7.6.1-Update especially for the 3400's (after faking the MacID and installing 7.6 and the immediatly installing the 3400-7.6.1-Update...

Can anybody help ?! Anybody have a hint ?!
