Hello,
I recently picked up a PB180 and wanted to wipe the HD and do a fresh
install of OS 7.5.3 (which I picked up on Apple's site) - It has 7.1.x now.
But the thing is, I looked around and couldn't find out exactly how to do
this and as a PC user, I'm new to Mac's. I am able to format disks
Hi,
what you obtained from Apple are diskimages for floppies.
With Diskcopy you can make a set of installation floppies
out of them.
I am not sure if there is something on PC that can do this, if
not you have to transfer them somehow onto the PB180 and then
generate the installation floppies
Hello,
So, would it not work if I were to just transfer all the files to the Mac HD
and run them from there?
How would I format the HD?
thanks much
Patrick

My 3400c usually works fine on wireless, using the enterasys/orinoco
card. Last night and this morning it couldn't connect to my router, the
ip addy was set to 169.254.14.31 which was the same as the router addy.
Subnet was 255.255.0.0. I've seen this dns before, it's there every time

it might. You can try to move all files on the hd and mount them.
It is possible to install from mounted diskimages.
But this would be no (clean)
Ah, I get it. Yea, I don't want to just upgrade it.
It's 19 floppies, yes. Alot, I know ;)
I just remembered, though, here in the office we have an old G3 sitting
around that I can use. I assume it would be best to format the disks from
that and use this diskcopy (?) to transfer the disk images

it is. Not too much if disk 18 isnt corrupted ;)

Cool, thanks for your help. I will check the G3 shortly.
Shoot, it is the ver. with no floppy drive. So I guess that's out.
The PB180, right now, only has the base 4mb ram (I was going to upgrade that
later though).
If I was to continue to run 7.1 on there, as you suggest, what would be the
best
Hi:
I would like to buy a 540c laptop. I have not considered a 520c, but I find
them much less impressive. I like the 540c much better as I have had one
before. I am not going to be too specific on what my needs are as far as this
computer. The only thing that I ask is that it is working in all

with 4mb ram 7.5.3 seems to me too much. If you get a full ram
Are you using internet connection sharing via one of the ME boxes?
You might be getting you windows-style default IP address from one of
them.
I assume you usually have a 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x as your IP
address, right? That's what would be coming from the router's DHCP.
I, too have a 3400c
Where can I get 1400 bookcover insert templates apart from the original

Where could I get cheap batteries for 1400's apart from eBay and the LEM
swap list(whatever that is)? Also, what type of cells would you need(NiMH
green cells) to recell batteries and could you use liIon batteries?

The G3 would read and write HG diskettes 1.4MB. Does the 180? Make sure
you have diskettes that the 180 can handle.

Since you are new to the Mac system and are a PC (I assume you mean
Windows) user, it is nowhere near as complicated to remove an
application in Mac OS. You can SEE it in the graphical interface. Yoou
don't have to track anything down by path. there are no hidden DLL's
etc., etc. If the

No, I'm using a Dlink router. All other computers on the network are fine.
