Fabian,
I received one of those IBM 8 gig external PCMCIA HDs for my 3400
running 8.6.
When I try to erase it (and presumably format it as a Mac) I do not get
a Mac formating option?
It receives and stores Mac files OK, but I'd like to use it as a backup
start up disk. Is this possible?
Thanks
Cliff:
I've got one I use at work to back up CDs on. I've got OS 9 on my PB
3400, and the drive works fine and will boot the machine. I don't know
about 8.6. Of course, I have 144mb RAM in my PB 3400, which makes a
difference in running 9.
Have you tried using Drive Setup? That's what I did.
Just signed on here seeking some help. My partner and I just got a
Powerbook 3400 for her son, to replace a PC laptop that was stolen and to
get him into Mac. It was cheap, and she has a 3400c/200 which has 9.1 and
all kinds of nice things, as we bought it used from a aound engineer who
knows
I would definitely upgrade the OS to at least 8.1. You didn't mention how much ram is
in the machine, so going higher than that depends on the amount of ram available. I
personally like 9.1, even if it does have a performance hit on an older cpu- I just
have fewer problems with it. I know
Thanks, Peter. It has 32 M RAM - if the young man we are giving it to wants
to upgrade he can. I just want to set it up to work for him... Think I'll
try 8.6 for starters.
