- This _has_ worked on my Mac Plus:
-
- ON THE MAC... using MicroNet's hard drive utility (v5.2.2) I
- created two hard partitions on a large drive. The first was
- set to 65536 blocks (32mb) the second to the remaining drive
- space. I then installed Mac System 7.0.1 etc. on the second
- partition.
-
- move the drive to the GS...
-
- ON THE GS... erase the first partition to ProDOS (using the
- Finder) and install GS System 6 on it.
-
- The drive will now boot on either machine... (I strongly
- suggest you power down the machines when moving SCSI cables :)

- There are two ways to write bug-free code and only the third one works!
