Installaing MacOS 7.6.1 from CD on PowerBook 180
Posted by: explit on 2019-10-22 14:35:18
Hello guys.

I'm searching for the way to install MacOS 7.6.1 from SCSI CD-ROM Drive (I have 3: Pioneer PCP-PR1W portable, Panasonic KXL-810A Portable and Yamaha 5,25 CD-RW)

What i need is: an Universal Boot Floppy Disk, which would load CD-ROM Driver.

Do someone have such floppy disk / image

Thanks

Simply holding the C key at startup should achieve this.

Oh no, i already tried it. The Key C works only on the Newer PowerPC and Intel Models. On the old 68K booting from SCSI CD-Drive is not so straightforward

Have you tried holding down shift-option-command-del and the external drive SCSI ID number? i think they will recognize some external CD drives but no others, be sure to try a few times.
