- I'm using a Mac Classic with System 7.0.1 as a hard drive for my
- Apple IIgs... It's wonderful, but I can't startup from the Mac.
- My question: Is it possible to directly boot a IIgs from a System 7
- Mac (boot from slot 7)? If not, is there some other way I can use
- the Mac as my System disk? I ran the File Server Setup from the IIgs
- Installer and tried starting the IIgs with a "Local network startup
- disk" created by the Installer. When I tried to log into the server
- as a regular user or guest, the IIgs responded: "Contact the network
- administrator. An unknown system error occurred." When I tried to
- log in as the Mac owner, the IIgs reported: "Your startup
- configuration has not been set up properly. Contact the network
- administrator."
-
- My systems: a ROM 01 "Woz" IIgs with 1 Meg RAM, no hard drive, System
- 6.0, one 3.5" and one 5.25" floppy, connected via serial cable to a
- Mac Classic, System 7.0.1 (with Tuneup), 40Mb hard drive, 4Mb RAM.
- AppleTalk is enabled on both machines. Every IIgs folder on the Mac,
- including the hard drive itself, has been set to allow sharing.
-
- (For those of you who don't have a hard drive or who transfer a lot of
- IIgs files through a Mac, you should still try this. Even if you
- can't boot from your Mac's hard drive, it's still cheaper than buying
- a separate hard drive for your IIgs!)
-
- I appreciate any suggestions and advice, and I'll answer e-mail
- questions promptly. Please respond through e-mail; I miss a lot of
- news articles. Thanks!
