OS 9.1 would be an illegal give away wouldent it?

None the less, how much RAM do you have? OS 9.1 requires at least 64MB to run real nice. I had it on a 16MB RAM machine, that wasn't very fun. With a basic extension set, 32MB should be sufficient.

Anyway, I could give you a copy but Im not sure if it's quite Abandonware yet     :D    

EDIT:

Maybe you might wanna get another Pbook. I dunno, acording to this your gonna need an upgrade card to get the network working right.

OS 7.1 and earlier. Apple posts these on their website, in the old software download section (you have to dig for it though...)

well, it doesn't have a legal copy of os9.1 on it anyway, so i think that would kinda counteract the issue, and besides, if i can get it to work, ill be more swayed toward macs, cuase $100 worth eqiupment that don't work as adverstised just pisses me off, though thanx, the legal issue of giving macos 9.1 away shouldn't bother you too much, its not like you imprisoning someone/*like giving windows away*/ well thanks though

If you hang on to it for a little while, I'm buying a powerbook, and it should come with OS 9. If it doesn't I have to buy it anyway, so I will post it for you to download off of my server if you want...

Chaosmaster I have 8.5 - the 8.6 update is free from Apple. E-mail me [email protected] . Anything he (chaosmaster) does with it is his responsiblility...I'm just talking with him, and I am completely against pirating Mac software. Windows software? That's a whole different story...

btw: 7.5.3 and below is free to distribute and can be downloaded from Apple's site.

You hold "c" from power button until the "Mac OS Whatever Version" screen.

There is very little difference between 8.6 and 9.

The 8.6 installer can be run from inside the Mac OS (If you have MacOS on there). If you don't, then it should default to the CD anyway.

Let me know...
