Q: PowerBook 1400cs System Disks
-
Sep 7, 2009 11:30 AMby Texas Mac Man,There are several 1400cs models http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powerbook/index.html
The 117 & 133 MHz models can use System 7.5.3, however, the 166 MHz model requires System 8.0. All models have a 1.44MB floppy drive & a CD drive. However, you would need the System files installed on a media formatted for the Mac.
Suggest you join LEM-Swap for buying & selling Mac stuff. http://groups.google.com/group/lemswap
After you join, post a WTB (want to buy) for the system floppies or CD. Someone may have a copy for sale.
Cheers, Tom

Sep 7, 2009 11:50 AMby rublind,I got it second hand (obviously), and I only got the floppy drive with it.
I'd rather not invest too much money into this, as it is very old. Especially because I do have the system disks, or at least, the images of them.
I'd rather find a way to make them myself from what Apple has already provided me.
Thanks,

At least according to Apple's technical specifications, the 117 MHz model is the only PowerBook 1400cs where System 7.5.3 is supported. However, a "PowerBook 1400 Enabler" is also mentioned. This means that such an enabler would be needed in addition to a "normal" System 7.5.3. Unfortunately, the downloads do not contain this enabler.
