Sorry, let me be more clear; if the machine already boots, you might be
able to mount the installation CD-ROM using an Appletalk share over
Localtalk. You can't actually net-boot the Powerbook from the Localtalk
network.

The display hinge was quite broken, it was given to me a while ago and I didn't
see accomplishing anything with it.
What's still kicking around here is:
- the funky special HDI30-to-SCSI-DB25 adapter to get from the 5300 to
normal SCSI
I guess I'll be trolling ebay for a bit for a drive. Thanks Guys!

Hi Joe,
System 8 and subsequent were only available on CD-ROM. I think newest you
can get on floppies is 7.5.3 or 7.5.5. You should be able to do the
installation no problem with an external [Apple] SCSI CD-ROM. Might also
work from a Localtalk share, if you have another Mac available? I don't
kno
Does the 5300 have SCSI? An external CD drive would be one option. Also, if
there's enough HD space (and you're patient enough for the transfer) you
could set up a Telnet connection and file share. -C

Greetings!
I know that many of my posts to this list tend to be on the fringes of what
is normally discussed here. I apologize in advance if this is too new for
the group.
