As some of you may know, this notebook is old, but despite its age it is still a lovely computer to use.
Currently I'm running Mac OS 7.1.1 and I want to upgrade to Mac OS 8, this is proving very difficult as the PowerBook only comes with an external Floppy disk drive.
I've scanned the internet, and I can't find any copies of Mac OS 8 on floppies, there are only CD ROM copies available. I've also looked at the laptop's capabilities and it clearly states "Minimum OS: System 7.1.1, Maximum OS: Mac OS 8.1" Now, basically I need help putting that into practice.
In short terms, my basic question to you is: "How do I install Mac OS 8 on a Mac with no CD ROM drive?"
Thankyou, eloquence.:yinyang:
