Hardware / PowerBook 150 Install disks
May 27, 2011, 11:35 |
Thank you for your reply, yes, I'm still looking for an original PB150 setup. I managed to install a 7.5 from a rescue floppy a few months ago, but it lacks basically everything, it is barely enough to boot up the system. |

Hi all! I've registered in the hope you guys would be able to help me make my old PowerBook 150 run again (it has no OS, and I don't have the original floppies anymore). I also want to build a custom mac sometime later, I have a broken PB180 and I plan to build a netbook inside and install OSX 10.5 on it. I want to keep the original keyboard and trackball, so for the next few weeks I'll be working on a custom controller, I plan to use an AtMega32 for it. I haven't decided yet if I prefer an USB interface for it (for a possible later rebuild) of simply translate it to the netbooks motherboard's own ribbon. |

Hardware / PowerBook 150 Install disks
September 28, 2010, 00:46 |
Hi all! I have a working PB150, but without an OS. Recently the original 120MB drive died, and I swaped it to an 1GB drive. I had a rescue floppy with a PB150 enabler, so I could initialize and format the drive, and copy the System folder from the boot floppy to the HDD, and it boots. However it is only a floppy OS without anything useful, not even a control panel, so I'd like to install a full OS7.1 or 7.5 on it. I've downloaded the 7.5.3 from apple's site, but it refuses to install, no specific error, just reports after some time, after 3-4 floppies that it encountered an error and it will roll back all changes. I tried to copy my PB150 enabler onto the install disks and boot from them, no luck. The same thing happens with the 7.1 floppies I got later. I never had to install OS7 on this machine myself, it worked for years, so I don't know where did I make a mistake (yeah, no backup from a 16yrs old HDD is a dumb mistake allright). Any solution or help would be appreciated, mostly a lint to a working PB150 floppy set images or a working HDD image. |
