I just won a 2400c/180 on eBay. It has an external cd drive and my goal is to install OS7.6.1. Is there anything I need to know before I attempt it? Will it install directly from the cd?

Yep. No issues with 7.6.1, it wont work booting from a 7.6 CD, but you should be good to go with that

I'm not following. I have an OS7.6.1 cd. Will that will load directly onto the 2400c? It currently has OS8.1.

Quote from: "ronin" I'm not following. I have an OS7.6.1 cd. Will that will load directly onto the 2400c? It currently has OS8.1. It depends on whether or not the cd is computer specific. For example, the version I have of 7.6 is a generic upgrade from apple, it works on any mac that supports it. The 8.6 I use sometimes is from an imac and it won't install on any other computers.(there are ways involving external harddrives and the imac) Dan or some of the other fellas on s7t can get into more detail.

Mine is generic and installed onto all of my 1400s very well. Maybe I am in luck.

for the 2400c and 3400c 7.6 CD - Will not install, must use the 7.6 CD for 3400c. 7.6.1 - All Universal CDs will boot fine. 8.0+ - You should be fine. RIght now i'm running 8.6, seems to be working fine.

As always good with the bad. 1. I have a generic 7.6.1 2. The 2400c I bought off eBay is in excellent condition. The floppy drive doesn't have a cable and the cd drive came without a powercord. 3. It even had the original cd OS8.0. Does anyone have a floppy drive or cable for the 2400c?

Quote from: "ronin" As always good with the bad. Is there an OS on the hard drive? If there is you could connect to another machine via AppleTalk using the serial port, or the IRDA port. While that way does not allow for a format of the hard drive, it does allow you to install a different OS. The 2400c also has a SCSI port so you could connect via SCSI disk mode (target mode) to do a clean install. And of course you could pull the hard drive connect it to a different system and do the install from there. bill

It has OS8.0 and I have the original cd. The only problem with using it without a floppy is that I can't get any data out of the computer after creating it. I checked with the PowerBook Guy and he doesn't have either the cable or the floppy drive.

It does have a serial port, so you can connect it to another Mac with a serial port, using a serial cable. Then you can transfer data via AppleTalk. AppleTalk can be slow for large operations, but keeping data syncronized is generally not too bad. bill
