A few weeks ago I got a nice external Apple 2GB SCSI hard disk from a friend. I tried using it with my Classic (running system 6.0. 8) and no matter what device ID # I used (tried 0-7) the drive being on and connected prevented the Classic from booting because it made a sick mac screen and a bunch of X's and numbers . When hotplugging the drive once the Classic was on and running, the Classic never recognized it.
I just found a Macintosh Plus (painted orange as a Mac 'o Lantern) that turns on asking for OS, but doesn't like my 800k boot disk (taped 1.4mb disk, my SE which runs Sys 7 on its own won't boot from it either) so while lacking a legitimate 800k disk, I wanted to try and boot the Plus from the SCSI. Any ideas how to do this? I also have an SE/30 (7.5) and a Color Classic (7.1) if either of those would be easier to work with. The other port on the SCSI has a terminator on it, I may mention.
