Re: Powerbook 190 (Mac OS Licensing)

[Grayson Williams]

This is not true, the original Bondi Blue iMac G3 ran 8.1. 

Only shipped with 8.1 for a couple of months though.

 Windows 95 days), the PC manufacturer put a label on the PC when it was
 built and that is the license for the machine, as well as the ID key to
 install it with.  So if you have a PC with a Windows 2000 label, you're
 legal to grab a Windows 2000 CD and install it back on the system.

This is about the only way you could do that:

http://macdailynews.com/2006/02/03/apple_mac_mini_implanted_into_macintosh_se_30/

That, or install Debian 68k and try to run PearPC, but that's beyond the 
scope of this e-mail list...

I had one new back in 1994, the OS (7.1.2P) did in fact come on a

so you should be able to plug the drive into pretty much any machine

WTB keyboard/numeric keypad cables, boot floppy and original power cord

[Grayson Williams]

Hi all,

I posted a WTB: to the LEM swap list but no reply. I'm trying to 
resurrect my original M0001 Macintosh, and I was wondering if anyone 
here had two telephone-style keyboard/numeric keypad connectors, an 
original right-angle power cord and a 400k boot floppy (prefer System 
1.0, but my Mac will take up to System 3.2) they'd be willing to sell 
me, shipped to 85086.


Thanks a lot!

Grayson Williams
