Powerbook with OS 8.1 Lockup
 |
Hi everyone,
I have a Powerbook 5300CS with OS 8.1. I haven't used it in a couple of years but today I decided to work with it. I booted it up and everything looked good except the date and time was wrong. I corrected them and shut it down and hooked up my external CD ROM and external touch pad. When I turned it back on it only got as far as the boot screen and the boot indicator didn't even get a quarter of the way before it froze. I removed the CD ROM and touch pad and tried it again but it still locks up at the boot screen at the same time. Any ideas?
TIA!
