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?
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)
over and then
boot from the first disk? Where can I get that?
thanks for your help

on the G3 without aborting the installation.
How much RAM does the PB180 have ? Probably you would like
to stay with 7.1 :)

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

with 4mb ram 7.5.3 seems to me too much. If you get a full ram
The G3 would read and write HG diskettes 1.4MB. Does the 180? Make sure
you have diskettes that the 180 can handle.

Thanks to everyone who replied. If Apple didn't want anyone to get inside this

Of the larger(!) scsi drives which come up with any degree of regularity,
I'd say the 320mb is the most common with the 500mb/540mb trailing a bit
behind. 320s go for ~$5 on up to ~$50 with $25 a normal result. The

IBM and Toshiba both made true SCSI 1 GB drives.

With my bunch of old PB180's they often won't power up with the battery

I had a PB100 that would not start up because the battery was n o good.
Removing the battery and starting it using only the AC plug allowed it to
