Powerbook 1400cs system installation

2013-08-18 Thread Marek Drvota
Hi all recently I've just acquired Powerbook 1400cs in quite OK condition. I'd like to perform fresh system installation - all the floppies with System 7 ready but every time I start with the installation it says that System can't be installed. Is there some special version of OS or ? Marek

Yea the conner drive has every reason to not work. I slapped my scsi card in my gaming rig for a few to see how bad it was. Just about every other sector of the drive was damaged. I couldnt even reassign everything before getting a stack overflow. My quantum on the other hand is perfectly fine.

I dunno how the list breaks that down. I do it by processor. I have had OSX Jaguar running on G3 Beige. Tiger loves the Pismo. Panther allows itself to be installed to the Lombard. The G-series processors really ought to NOT be in the Vintage category, but without the ability to do ALL modern

As suspected. Too bad about the Conner. The issue with the Quantum will prove to be that with only 800k drives to work with, you have to find a Micromat, etc. third party drive initializer. They almost ALL were better than the Apple one. I have several, so if you want I can tell you which
