Mac Os 8.6
Posted by: somorastik on 2012-07-31 13:59:46
Hi,

Erase me if this is illegal but Im looking for a system cd (or just a system folder) for my old Powerbook 5300.

It would be best if it was Czech, but that is hard to get, just a working 8.6 would be nice.

I have some 8.6, 8.5 install CDs but they are all broken, at some point in installation they stop.

Please contact me: somorastik (at) gmail.com

Thanks

Unfortunately, Mac OS 8.5 and 8.6 are still considered as commercial software, given that they were never released for free by Apple. As such, even though its 14 year old software, any unauthorised copying of it is still considered to be piracy, which we don't do here. If you just want to get your 5300 running again however, System 7.5.3 is available for free from Apple, and can be updated to 7.5.5.
