Q: Help PowerBook 150 not Run disket flash Question mark System 7.5.3 - 18 parts.

Hello again,

Good to hear that you successfully installed the operating system.

This is merely one example of a web site with older freeware and shareware applications:

PC Exchange is part of System 7.5.3, so downloads and transfers could be carried out directly on PC-formatted 1.44 MB floppy disks, if necessary. As always, copy downloaded MacBinary (.bin) or BinHex (.hqx) files unaltered to the PB 150, and decode using StuffIt Expander there.

Next, I suggest that you look for an external SCSI CD-ROM drive as well as an external SCSI Zip drive (and SCSI cables and terminators). That would make future transfers much easier. On a modern computer, you could create and burn an .iso CD-R (at a low speed) containing .bin or .hqx files, and then read these files on the PowerBook 150. See the pages 96-100 in the manual (https://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/0/MA853/en_US/0305538APWRBK150GS.pdf) for details about SCSI.

Also, it is not a bad idea to have Disk First Aid (http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English -North_American/Macintosh/Utilities/Disk_First_Aid/Disk_First_Aid_7.2.2.sea.bin) on a modified Network Access disk (use the previously described technique to make room on the floppy).
