Hi all, I have a power book170 and I think all the bios is eraced. The
screen is blank except for a floppy in the center. I instalition disk 2. I
am not shure if this is what I need to boot it up. I would gladly pay
postage ect. for copies of the disk that I need. It just spits out the disk
I have. Thanks for your reply. James
Not the bios but close in a sense. Your system folder (if present) is damaged and as such, you fill need to start up from a bootable system floppy. OS 7, 7.1 are the best choices though you can try 7.5.(x) if you would like. Install disk 1 will boot the machine as will the disk tools disk. Have fun with the powerbook as those 1xx machines (save for the 150) are great machines.
