| PowerBook 1400c/166 does not boot specific 7.6 | |
| Posted by: LaPorta on 2023-06-02 04:56:35 All the 1400s I have start fine with the original 1400 CDs I have, which are 7.5.3. | |
| Posted by: bengi3 on 2023-06-02 13:26:14 Next week I will install 7.6.1 on a CF and let you know | |
| Posted by: Dude.JediKnight on 2023-06-02 22:23:28 My 1400cs/117 has the 7.6.1 floppy restore images still on its stock HDD, and was pretty sure that’s what is installed on it right now. Didn’t get the original CD with with the machine when I bought it, but I am fairly sure those image files are an OS restore, and not an upgrade. I’d have to pull the machine out to double check that though. | |
| Posted by: bengi3 on 2023-06-05 11:47:17 It digests only 8.0, 8.1, 8.5 and 8.96 didn’t test 9.0 and up because 8.6 is barely usable to my taste, finder is too slow. 8.0, aka 7.7, is probably the way to go. | |
| Posted by: LaPorta on 2023-06-05 15:07:57 What the heck is 8.96? | |
Posted by: Nixontheknight on 2023-06-05 16:35:47What the heck is 8.96?I think they mean 8.6 | |
| Posted by: bengi3 on 2023-06-09 12:00:04 Ok, I sorted things out! The problems were the files I had downloaded. With the proper image I could burn the bootable CD from Toast 4.2 on an iBook G9 900! Using good CDRs. This post can be useful: How do I write Macintosh CD images to physical CD's?I'm trying to figure out how to get CD ROM Images from The Mac Repo and Mac Garden onto a physical cd, I tried to use IMG Burn but that doesn't work. I've also tried using Basilisk II's ability to use the internal drive but, to no avail. Any other method I could try? Thanks in advance.
