I can do both. Yet when I try to boot to the HDD, I still get the
flashing folder or boots back to the Install Disc.

Put a fresh copy of OS X(10.3) on an external 60g drive via my Pismo.
Put the 60g drive into a Lombard. Lombard will not recognize the drive

First time it was diagnosed over the phone, second time by service tech

Try just pressing the Option key. That should bring up a screen that
will offer you all bootable options. You should have the Panther CD
already in your external drive.
Hope this helps,

Not to disparage MacMall, and although I've never used them, I have
read some bad things about their service on other forums. I believe
there is a web site devoted to spreading that knowledge and belief.
Just a word of caution, although I'm sure you'll hear good reviews of
their website.
Actually, I've burned DVD from my Lombard using an external burner
(Sony DVD RE DW-U18A - Firewire) and Toast Titanium 6. Lombard is a
400 with no upgrade. As for the upgrade, nice to have (I want one
too) but not necessary for your project, IMHO.

I have a Lombard 400 with a 30 g HD. I've just purchased a Pismo with

with the machines. Both will have OS X 10.3.9.
Thanks,

One might also mention that the Dual USB iBooks have a history of

the wires that run through it. Unfortunately, I don't remember if

The program is called Onyx. I'm using version 5.2 on both my Lombard
