thatsteve asked:

I have a ibook G3 running 9.1 here, can I simply copy the contents of the 500MB (7.6.1) partition to a folder on the ibook via the ethernet network, then wipe the LCIII+ ...

Yes. Boot the LCIII+ from its hard disk and copy the hard disk contents to a folder on a share somewhere else. Repartition. Boot the LCIII+ using the Network Access Disk (if it is not still an Apple download, ask) and copy it all back. Copying it all back will be slower than copying it up.

Notes: The Network Access Disk works with any Mac with pre-PCI architecture that can run System 7. It may work with a Plus, SE, LC etc with 2MB RAM. The disk contains network drivers for built-in LocalTalk and for top flavours of Ethernet card.

If drivers for your card are missing, the Network Access Disk is hackable. And there are other tricks to accomplish a download of your original configuration.
