hi

I have a powerbook g3 - one of the older models - and it doesn't have a CD drive

It has no operating system on it and has flashing question mark

is there any way to load os9 onto it?

Need to know the exact model really. Does it have firewire? SCSI? Those are the only externally bootable interfaces on G3s. Easiest way is to get another CD drive tbh.
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....
