Re: Powerbook 140 Dilemma

Try looking at http://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html There might be a link somewhere in there to download a startup floppy disk. I haven't had much experience in the field of floppy disks I'm afraid... :-) Good luck with it, John. On 8/2/03 6:16 PM, "K.L. Shelly" <[EMAIL PROT

Norton Util. 6 on PB3400c?

Can I use and boot from Norton Utilities 6 (believe it has OS9.2 on it) on a PB3400c machine which has OS8.6 installed? In other words, can the 3400c emergency boot from this particular version of Norton or can I force the Norton to boot using perhaps a built-in OS 8.6 rather than 9.2 just in

What Sytem Disk For Booting a 180?

I'm trying to boot an 180-machine and it wants a floppy to start on. But for some reason it don't seem to agree with a System 7 floppy. It is "not the right system." I thought those where the right ones? Or? Anders The HellGame - the latest in infernal entertainment! http://www.theHellGame.c
