More Questions from a New IIgs User

[jonINTERNETrelayCHAT@napaVALLEYnet.CLARInet (Jon Bettencourt)]

Can you use a Mac Plus mouse in the game port? I read somewhere that you
can plug one into a IIgs or IIc, but I read somewhere else that IIc mouses
won't work with the IIgs. Also, the first place I read about also said
that on a IIe you plug it into the mouse card. But the IIe, IIc, and IIgs
game ports should all be the same, shouldn't they?



What kind of monitors can I plug into the RGB Video port? I have the
following: Apple Performa Display, Apple Multiple Scan 15 Display, and an
Acer SVGA. I know the port uses analog RGB. Do any of these monitors use
analog? Or are they all digital? What about the 15Hz 30Hz 50Hz 60Hz 25Hz
47Hz frequency thing? Do I need to build a special cable?



How can I hook up a simple network between the IIgs and a Mac Plus so that
the IIgs can use the hard drive on the Mac Plus? Do I need a ProDOS boot
disk or something to do that (I don't have one)? Do I need to format
something on the hard drive as ProDOS? Do I need to completely reinstall
the MacOS on the Mac Plus and use System 7.5 with PC Exchange?

I tried connecting my IIgs and my other Mac (a Quadra 700) together with
AppleTalk. I got the Quadra to file share, but the IIgs didn't do anything
(I did have Slot 1, Slot 7, and StartUp set to AppleTalk on the IIgs). Did
I need to format something on _that_ hard drive as ProDOS? I did it with
PhoneNet connectors. Maybe I should use a regular printer cable
instead....



I heard somebody tried to connect a Mac Plus hard drive to the floppy
port, and didn't get it to work because the floppy port doesn't support
it. Shortly after, I saw a post that said someone had successfully
connected a HD20 (???) to the IIgs's floppy port. If I read that second
post right, then how exactly _do_ I get the IIgs to boot up from the hard
drive in the floppy port?
