3400 freezes when I insert PC floppy
My 3400 does not like to reckonize PC floppy disks. Put one in the drive and the machine just freezes...but strangely enough the mouse still moves the cursor...though you can't click on anything...only way out of this is a forced restarts option+apple+power...I have a suspicion its cos I need PC Exchange? How/where do I get this? AND more importantly will it fix my problem? Ta MacDog -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: OS9 on a PB 3400
Thanks for all the advice I guess I'll have to look out for an OS9.1CD on Ebay that's available to me here in the UK Jo0lz E - [EMAIL PROTECTED] H - Oxfordshire, UK PB - 3400/200 2Gb/144Mb OS8.6 Stability.

Re: OS9 on a PB 3400
SO what is the biggest improvement of OS9 on a PB3400 over OS8.6? I am happily running 8.6 but am always tempted by the call of 9 but never sure that it is worth giving up that extra RAM Can those of you having made the upgrade of OS tell me benifits Cheerz Jo0lz E - [EMAIL PROTECTED] H - Oxfordshire, UK PB - 3400/200 2Gb/144Mb OS8.6 I think it's probably a machine gestatlt ID problem. The installer looks for the iMac and doesn't find it. I've got an original generic OS 9 CD I bought at CompUSA and it installed fine on my PB3400.

George made a good suggestion... How about the partition type on the drive. Doesn't OS 9 require the extended type partition? (Sorry, it's early here - the Mac lingo is escaping me and I'm nowhere near anything running Mac OS :-) ) Perhaps it may require a reinitialization so that you can change the partition type??? Thats pure speculation... Other listers, help out!! Cheers, Sionnach -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
