PowerBook 150 installer woes with CF-to-IDE adapter

Also...what other classic Macs do you have? If you have a G3/G4 with early Mac OS X or OS 9 on it, just format the SD card as Mac OS Standard, drop an appropriate System folder on it, make sure it is "blessed", and you should be fine. No need to mess with properly imparting images on SD cards, etc.

Unfortunately, I don't have much to work with...all I have apart from this PowerBook 150 is a Power Machintosh 6100/66 (DOS Compatible), an LC II, and an SE/30.

Any ideas? I haven't thought of any other possible solutions. Perhaps a new adapter or some kind of motherboard trickery?

I might have time tomorrow to create an image from my CF IDE drive from my 630 system. If i do I will upload it for you

Sure, might as well give that a shot

Will it have the right System Enabler (if needed)?

Did not have a chance last night, will do a "for all systems" install so the right enabler should be there.

Sigh, tried to use my LC 630 today, I think it needs a recap. It will boot from the CD ROM but will not boot from the external SCSI or recognize the internal IDE.
