Installing Mac OS 9 onto my Clamshell iBook
#1
Well, that's sure one phrase I never thought I'd find myself saying (or typing).

I just picked up a Clamshell ibook with a dead battery (wouldn't charge) and an airport card for a very good price.

I tried everything I could to get the battery to charge while in OS X.3.9 Reset Power Manager, Reset PRAM, reset open firmware... Nothing

Put in the OS 9 CD and start installing, and the battery starts charging. Restarting now, hopefully it keeps charging.

300 Mhz
6 GB HD
128 MB RAM
CD ROM
Airport

Next problem to tackle, airport card will connect to my network but won't authenticate. Anyone care to inform me of the differences between the two original airport card versions? I believe one is 64 bit and another is 128?

Now, who was it that collected Clamshells here?
