FYI, Macs don't have BIOS. Boot order (defined in ROM) goes like this:
1) Floppy

(If you have SCSI devices, it checks them next, one at a time,
starting with the lowest ID and working up. IDE devices come last,
IIRC.)
You can change the boot order by changing some NVRAM
I just purchased off eBay a PowerBook 1400cs with a floppy drive
module; I have some old financial records on floppies and I need to
access them, but my iBook 900 won't do it and can't be easily made to
do it. My problem started when the PB arrived and I found the

Someone with more knowledge may have a better answer, but I think you
can boot from the floppy then make a ram disk, copy over the system
from the floppy and boot from the ram disk and then maybe install the

Apple has OS 7.5.3 Posted on its site in floppy image format. If you can find
someone close that can access the apple site you can download the 17 floppy
set. I have it but don't remember exactually where you go on their site to find
it but I'm sure someone on the list can tell you...
Good

Okay, correct me if I am wrong listers, but you cannot swap any devices on
the powerbook 1400 while it is on, can you? You have to swap the cd-rom/
floppy modules while the laptop is sleep or off.
Correct. Hot-swapping on the 1400 == bad. Sleep it first.
