Making a Mac SE an external hard drive to a IIgs.



Hi all,

I am interested in using my Mac SE as an external hard drive to my IIGS.  I
partitioned the hard drive into one ProDos partition and one Mac partition. 
What I did was made the SCSI ID of the SE's hard drive #4.  Then, I hooked
an SCSI cable to the SCSI card (an Apple card) on my GS and hooked the other
end to the SE's SCSI port.  I had the SE on first, (it was shut down but the
power wasn't off) and then turned on the GS.  The GS won't recognize the
drive when I try to use the System 6.0.1 installer.  The weird thing is when
I used the SE as an external drive to my powerbook, it worked.  Both
partitions could be seen.  Is my SCSI card faulty or am I doing something
wrong.

I did buy an external SCSI hard drive from Chet Gearhart and never got it.
GRR..that makes me angry. 


Thanks.
Jon
