stuffit expander

this should get you started. for some reason, the Aladdin folks like to STUFF the installer for stuffit expander. I did it for you. it's only 808k. just download it directly to a floppy on your PC, and place it in your PB1400. the mac will see it as an installer, and will do it's thing.

if that doesnt work, drop me a PM, and we can get this sorted out. remember: there's always more than one way to skin a cat.

btw, how is the PB1400? I was thinking of looking at one as my portable months ago, but the lack of built in enet turned me to my current PB G3 (wallstreet), but I am still interested in getting one as a collection.

pb 1400

i loved my machine, it went with me everywhere! I would listen to music (before i got my iPod), and do reports and that kind of thing. Its really a great machine! The only problem is that its really hard to take apart! but i gave it away as a christmas present when i got my pismo.

... The only problem is that its really hard to take apart! ...

I can't agree with you there. To replace the backup battery is indeed an exercise in demolition. But to replace the HDD, daughtercard, RAM, or expansion bay card is a ten-minute exercise. Like the PB 500 series, the PB 1400 series was designed for ease of common upgrades or repairs.
