Thanks TheDoctor, thanks Byrd Took another tack. Partitioned the drive to less than 2 GB and tried an install of OS 7.6 from the original CD that came with the 3400c. Still no joy…

Good pick up, TheDoctor - you might be on to something  Hope you get there AichEss.

I suspect this is the problem. If you are installing Mac OS 9.1 on a PowerBook 3400 running Mac OS 9.04, you must perform the installation without updating your hard disk dr…

Still no joy. Found the startup sequence in the TIL. Vis ----- Step 5: System File Is Found and Opens When a valid System file is located, the System file, and any ROM updates are…

What size is your SATA drive?  There's a limit of ~128GB on the older Macs.

I couldn't get a ZIF PATA - mSATA adapter to work on my MBA.

So you probably want an ATA-6 drive unless someone can correct me there. I had a similar problem.

Trying to figure out ATA compatabilities A drive out of the 3400c is a 2 GB Travelstar DCRA-22160. The specs say it is ATA2 Fast/Enhanced with an external data transfer rate = 16.…

Great news. Like Byrd said, its a compatibility issue. Have you tried it on an older machine like a 1400?

It's likely related to what ATA standard the 3400c and Pismo support, and backwards compatibility of the mSATA drive and/or adapter. I'd try another cheap adapter. In other news,…

In a bit of experimentation I have been trying various SSD schemes in my PB 3400c.   Compact Flash cards in the HD spot with a generic Asian CF-to-IDE adapter work just fine as do…

One of these days I'll make it there.

That's why I want the one I'm owed, it's the 17" OS9 compatible model.

These are technically things I acquired in 2014 but I've only gotten a chance to start playing with them recently. First off, picked up an iMac G4 mostly so I could have a fast OS…

Any idea when Part 3 will be online?

I was trying to place my mind into a glorious time "2 years" past too. I currently live in a town which may have four Macs in it, two of which belong to one person and none of whi…
