Re: OT: Mac Plus and 20SC

Hi!!!

When I got my Mac Plus I did like this.

I took one of mine Classic, attached a external SCSI box with a 40 MB
SCSI-1 disk inside, formatted it with HD-SC-Formattern or any other
HD-Util. Then did I either copy all System 7.1 disks into the Classics
harddrive, or hide Finder in my Classic then Boot with System 7.1 First
Installation Disk and installed the System on the external SCSI disk.
And even copied some useful software or installed some software after
the System installation. Then did I restore the Clasic Mac, shut off
Classic and connected the harddrive to the Plus, and the system booted
up without any problem and works fine. The best is to have the boot
harddrive at ID:0, but Mac's boot from any drive unless it's not ID:7
coz ID:7 is the SCSI controller inside the computer. The external SCSI
boc must have an Terminator on the upper contact and the SCSI cable
connected to the lower contact.

Good Luck and do like I did, or mail me if you need some more
information.

Best Regards
