Ssw 7.1.1 on a Duo 270c ?
Posted by: galgot on 2016-05-23 15:51:59
I'm trying to boot a Duo 270c on syst 7.1.1, but each time it fails and say it needs a newer system . I 've checked "system for powerbook duo" during install though... And everywhere I read Duo 270cs can boot on 7.1.1 .

Or does it need a special version ?

Do you have the enabler in the system folder? If you need it, you can find it here:

Ah yes, thanks ! though choosing "system for powerbook duo" would have put the enabler in there automatically, but indeed it's not there.

Will try with one from your links this evening.

Yep ! A good system enabler made the trick :

Thanks again.
