Ok, I get a blinking floppy disk "?" in the middle of the screen. I
guess the CD rom I
have is not bootable after all.
(it came from a 2 disk pack marked "Apple Software" / "Claris Software"
)
My iBook won't read the CD. My SE want's for format any 1.44 floppy,
and my iBook
won't mount any 400/800mb floppy.
