Wow - well done, sir! Particularly for the hour it must be over there by the Prime Meridian! This appendix should be exactly what we need...though I seem to already be (inadvertantly) following the rules laid out. Perhaps I have some errant character that is causing the parser to barf. I'd...

Hmmmm, hmmmm, still not entirely correct. As I added more machines to the file and tested them (using the ping option of the AGNetTools utility retrieved from the Garden), I could successfully do so for only maybe every other hostname in the file? The others would give a "Name lookup failed"...

Thank you for taking the time to respond, Cheesestraws. The format you gave is well known to me, as that's what SunOS, Solaris and IRIX use. MacOS 9.x does not, it seems...so I just tried variations myself. The control panel spits out error boxes as it parses the file you're trying to feed it...

Hi folks, In the pat few days I have gotten a G3 Pismo up and running, with OS 9.1 currently, and hooked into my home network. No issues  with configuration and performance to the greater outside Intertubes. However, locally, it looks like I need to put a 'hosts' file together - I see an option...

Very nice! After a lifetime of UNIX boxen work (and OS X for everyday use), I'm getting into classic Mac OS - 7 and 9 at present. I'll be enjoying that, as well as, of course, the MLA!

Many thanks for all the replies - good to see a fair few folk still hanging out here and willing to share their knowledge! Very good, I found DiskCopy 4.2 that runs under System 7.0 and was able to mount the image files and create 800k floppies. I do indeed now have a installable set of 6.0.8...

As a postscript, I would like to say that I do plan to put System 7.x on this SE with the roomy HD. However, I would like to have a full working copy of System 6 first (& be able to flip back and forth by blessing/unblessing the 2 System Folders).

Hi folks - my first post as a new foot soldier in the MLA. I have an SE inherited from my sister-in-law that has a nice roomy 250mb HD. She got this, i believe, on warranty when the original drive died, but she switched to a different computer at that time (way back when). So no OS was present...
