Q: Powerbook 1400 and system installation CD

Probably this issue was discussed somewhere on the Forum but it seems that I am not lucky. The last Friday was my happy day as I received my PowerBook 1400 in great condition. My 16 years old dream from old times was finally completed and now I am more exited by PowerBook than my very fast and modern MacBook.

 

I hope that I will be able to find any sort of peripheral to connect PowerBook to the Net (probably PCMCIA card?) but before I will start to play with the system and driver installation I want to backup the OS. The problem is that I do not have installation CD (my PowerBook is equipped only with CD - no FDD). Is there any chance to download or rebuild installation CD (bootable) with the appropriate OS? What I see on http://support.apple.com/kb/TA48312?viewlocale=en_US is rather full MacOS history than clear picture how to prepare CD for 1400.

 

May I kindly ask forum-Gurus for some sort of advise?

 

Cheers

PowerBook, Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier
