- OK, I just got my Mac Plus upgraded to 4 megs of RAM (thanks to the
- help of many netters), and now I have a more tricky problem trying to
- get the Plus to boot off of my external SCSI drive.
-
- The drive is a newly-purchased used DEC RZ22 (manufactured by Connor)
- with 52 megs of storage. Working from an LC, I used a HD utility to
- format the drive and copy over System 7.0 to it.
-
- When I went to boot from my Plus, it was no dice: the Plus would not
- boot with the drive. I booted the Plus with a System 6.0.2 floppy,
- and used a desk accessory called "Mounter" to try to mount the drive
- (all this was no trouble working from the LC; the drive mounted itself
- just fine). Mounter would not mount the drive, returning the
- following error message "Drive does not have the current DM Mac
- driver."
-
- What is this mysterious driver? and how to I install it.
-
- Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
