I am looking for system 8.0, on floppy disks. I am not sure if it comes on floppies but I need it for a powerbook that only has a floppy drive. Right now it is running 7.5

If anyone has any other solutions, please let me know.

Thanks

Jessica

I'd say one solution would be to get yourself (if you don't already have one) one of those old Apple SCSI CD-ROM drives, plug that into the PowerBook (if you have a HD30 or whatever SCSI cable) and install 8 from a CD that way.

HI,

I have an older SCSI CD drive that I would part with, a few bucks would make my day.
Let me know if you are interested in it.

Regards,

Denis

well funny i dont see a scsi connection on the laptop, i see a serial, and two others that i dont recognize (its a powerbook 5300c)

i read it does have one but its called a hd30??

i dont know what that is or what it looks like

i have an external cd-rom with a scsi connector but that wouldnt work, the drive you have is it an hd30?

thanks
