SCSI Doc and a PowerBook 100

[mactjaap]

I recently bought a SCSI Doc PowerBook 25 to HDI-30 SCSI adapter. I successfully used it to boot my SE with the disk from the PowerBook. It boots nicely on System 7.5.

Now I would like to boot the SE and use the PowerBook disk as external hard drive.

How to achieve that? I rebooted….booted the SE first and then booted the PowerBook, but no success. Must be some key combination or so.

Help is appreciated! b:

Leave your connection as-is. By default the SE should be booting off of its internal drive. Double check that you have the SE's drive set as the boot device in the Startup Disk control panel.

both hard drives might be set to ID0

you might have to change the ID on one of the drives.

Don't mess with ID. Check startup disk control panel as mentioned.

YES! The startup disk control panel does the trick!

Thanks for your help!

Just remember even in your setup internal drives are device 0. It's what the Mac uses and understands, especially if battery (pram) is removed or dead. Just saves boot issues and such.

awesome, i had assumed that he already tried that, my mistake

I guess it pays to K-I-S-S.

Now that this is solved I have another one.....

Is it possible to switch of the PowerBook in this mode, other that just removing the power cable?

 

[Macdrone]

Command, option , cntrl and power button should shut it off.

 

[mactjaap]

On a PowerBook 100 is no specific power button.

I tried Ctrl, Option and Command and then as power button the backspace.....

That didn't work.

I can switch of with the programmers and reset switch together, but maybe there is a cleaner solution.

Just for information for other readers. These are the special Apple keys:

Well after researching, restarting on the 100 series that support this is the only way out I can find.
