Macintosh Powerbook 140 - 2009/06/25 06:32 Hello!

First I wanna say, that I'm Hungarian, so my English is not perfect, but I hope, that You will undertand me. Thanks.

So, I bought a Macintosh Powerbook 140, it's working, it as just one problem: it doesn't have an operating system. But what is the problem, I have Internet connection, so 'google it'! I found an operating system for that Notebook I think: Apple Macintosh System 7.5.3! (Is that a good operation system for that computer?)

After that, I wrote the image files to my floppy, to install to the Powerbook, but when I put it into the computer, it didn't like it, and the floppy was out of the computer.

I think, that maybe it was happened, because the floppy was formatted by IBM, or by my Windows PC...

Do You have any ideas for that problem? How can I format the floppy for the Powerbook? Or the problem is not with the bad formatted floppy?

Please help! I like this Apple Powerbook!!!
