What I would recommend doing is getting a Disk Tools image for making a boot floppy (<a href="http://download.system7today.com/disktools2.img.hqx">http://download.system7today.com/disktools2.img.hqx</a>)<br><br>using the Disk Tools flopy to properly partition and format your drive, then installing OS
9.1 (which I found too slow to be usable on a 2300c). Might I suggest 7.6.1 (<a href="http://system7today.com">http://system7today.com</a>)?<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 24, 2008 12:56 PM, Art Rice <
