I recall trying this and it didn’t work. Let me try again! Thank you!

Is there a way to power up the PB 100 without the keyboard. I am going to test a large number of logics and lcd and would like to avoid to plug and unplug the delicate keyboard connectors

I found that the safer way to make bootable classic OSs CD is to burn them with Toast on a Mac running Classic OS. In particular I use a fast G3 running Mac OS 9.2.2 and burn good quality CDs at 16x, a good compromise for speed and reliability. Now the questions: are there solutions to burn...

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: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/how-do-i-write-macintosh-cd-images-to-physical-cds.44014/

OMG! I just bought 100 CDR for 20 euro...

So I need to locate a dirty cheap CDR solution for my testings...

I am doing some tests using rewritable CDRW, so far none of them is even recognized by older Macs if I make them bootable in Toast, while they work as intended in the Mac that has burned them. Any experience on this?

So many variables! On top of that most images in the various repository simply do not work. To make sure I use an iBook G3 at 900 mhz to burn or duplicate classic Systems or MacOSs

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.

Next week I will install 7.6.1 on a CF and let you know

8.0 is fine, its 7.6.1 the problem

The weird thing is that, not only it does not boot off CD, but I can install 7.6.1 and then it says that the os is wrong

Tried also the so called "Mac OS 7.5.5, 7.6.1 & 8.0 Internal Edition (1997)" the PB 1400 does not boot

It is 310 Processor PowerPC 603ev 167 MHz PowerBook 1400 series

It’s HFS+, but doesn’t matter as this 1400 does no boot of 7.6.1 CD, only 8.0 and beyond

No way, nor the specific PB1400 CDs nor any 7.6.1. I've tried so many...

This PB1400c/166 boots fine and installs 8.0, 8.1 and beyond, but I cannot get to boot off 7.6. I also redownloaded all 1400 specific 7.6 from Macintosh garden. I also tried to install a clean install from those CDs after booting off 8.1, but either way the 1400 says that the system os not...

I did, but still it needs to be pushed laterally and kept in position.

I have an heavily upgraded Power Macintosh 7600 (https://www.ispezioneperugia.it/mac/68k/Power_Macintosh_7600.html), it has served for many years as my daily machine (from 1996 to 2003, up to Mac OS X via XPostFacto) and was then replaced by a G5 in 2003. After a few years in storage I decided...

I recall, long ago, being able to use Airport on PowerBook 5300ce and a Wavelan lucent (which, being basically an Airport with antenna is recognized by Airport software) by installing the relevant file extracted with TomeViewer. I have now tried with Mac OS 8.6, 9.0 and 9.1 and AP 1.2 and 1.3.1...
