Does the 5300 have SCSI? An external CD drive would be one option. Also, if
there's enough HD space (and you're patient enough for the transfer) you
could set up a Telnet connection and file share. -C

Hi Joe,
System 8 and subsequent were only available on CD-ROM. I think newest you
can get on floppies is 7.5.3 or 7.5.5. You should be able to do the
installation no problem with an external [Apple] SCSI CD-ROM. Might also
work from a Localtalk share, if you have another Mac available? I don't

Yesterday I sent a power book 5300 to recycling.
The display hinge was quite broken, it was given to me a while ago and I didn't
see accomplishing anything with it.
What's still kicking around here is:
- the funky special HDI30-to-SCSI-DB25 adapter to get from the 5300 to
normal SCSI
Sorry, let me be more clear; if the machine already boots, you might be
able to mount the installation CD-ROM using an Appletalk share over
Localtalk. You can't actually net-boot the Powerbook from the Localtalk
network.
Best,
Sean
