System 7.1: PowerBook and Macintosh Portable Installer Scripts

Will system software version 7.1 include custom installer scripts for the entire Macintosh PowerBook series? Or, will we have a similar situation to the PowerBook 145 introduction that is discussed in article "PowerBook 145: Peculiarities With System Software Version 7.0.1"?

System software version 7.1 will include custom installer scripts for these PowerBook and Portable products:

* Macintosh Portable
* Macintosh PowerBook 100
* Macintosh PowerBook 140/145
* Macintosh PowerBook 170

The new PowerBook products being introduced in fall 1992 each include an "Install Me First" disk (referred to as a "System Enabler") with system software version 7.1 installation disks.

This System Enabler disk includes minor changes to the system software shipped with the new product that are specific to that product.
