Nope, I pulled the 128mb out.

Did you read the reply above? Are you still attempting to boot with the 128MB stick installed?

I put a new floppy drive in the Color Classic and it's still not working. What could be wrong?

Also I tried installing Mac OS 8.1 today, wouldnt install, it said to read the manual. I'm thinking the 8mb isn't enough for Mac OS 8.1 :?: Click to expand... Considering the…

You can also patch Drive Setup, which is better than HD SC Setup, IMO. It's not very hard to do.

Apple prevented third-party drives by not allowing people to format drives that do not already have the Apple drivers on them. (Not sure if I said that accurately, but you get the…

I'm not really concerned, I won't be using OSX with it much at all. Thanks for the info though, kind of a shame to think OSX makes so many invisible files.

Also formatting floppies in OS X is a bit hit-and-miss. It won't do the part where it goes back and eliminates bad blocks. You also don't get the 100% same full capacity for some…

Nice. Just FYI, you won't be able to make 800k or 400k Mac floppies on that USB drive.

***Correction*** The PPC is a 7300/180, not a 7200. Its running a version of system 8. ***Update*** The LC 575 also is running system 8, but a bit less hapily than the 7300, won…

The Powerbook is definitely my favorite of the recent finds. Except for the issues its a nice little computer.

Wow, great conquests! The PowerBook 180c is one of the Macintoshes that I really want.

... Can't put a price on the nostalgia we get from using old Apple gear ... I just enjoy using the older stuff sometimes, and do everything I can to speed them up and make them mor…

The G3/400 uprade is probably the second best thing that can happen to any PB1400, just after being equipped with a TFT screen. If asked to spend 200 bucks to pimp a 1400c, I woul…

Makes sense to me... Can't put a price on the nostalgia we get from using old Apple gear. Riddle me this... does it make sense for me to occasionally do book research on my PowerB…

No, doesn't make a lot of sense as beachycove said. From the looks of eBay US, you can get a Pismo 500MHz for around $250-300.

No, it is not worth it, if worth is calculated in terms of cold, rational thought. You can buy a Pismo for $200.

Hey I would be glad to! I installed 8.1 again, but this time I formatted the Hard drive as Mac OS Standard. Then I install a minimal 8.1. I boot into that and put my 7.6 CD into th…

Thank you so much! I now have a working OS 7.6 system Click to expand... (a) Can you tell us how you got out of your pickle? It would be nice to know what the problem really wa…

Thank you so much! I now have a working OS 7.6 system

2) Booted from 8.1 CD, installed 8.1 Click to expand... Good, you have a working state you can get back to. Put this back on so you know you having a working system and can the…

Okay, 1) Had 9.1 on it. 2) Booted from 8.1 CD, installed 8.1 3) On mac mini made 7.6 CD. 4) Installed 7.6 from 8.1 5) Went to boot, says " Cannot use this system disk on this …

I'm lost. I can't work out what you have done and what you are trying to do. What was 8.1 running on? Normally to install an OS you have to have booted from a different device t…
