Nice setup ! A friend of mine has a 1200 c/w Blizzard 1230 + 16MB simm and is running shapeshifter 3.1 (more stable) System 7.5 is being used on the mac and 10MB assigned to it at bootup. Maybe you could answer the following questions: 1. When the control panel for MacPPP is opened the (OPEN) button is shaded out not permitting a tcp connection. The MacTCP control panel is active and configured correctly. If I use his Hard-disk to boot my a4000/040 without any changes MacPPP functions and I can get a connection !!! The ROM is from an 030 based Mac on both machines. Any suggestions other than extensions Manager fiddling (tried that !) would be appreciated. 2. Do you know of anyone using a Maxtor (7420AV) 420MB hard-disk with S.S. My same friend tried to use one of these drives on his 1200+Blizzard Workbench worked Okay with a few errors when transferring files but s.s. refuses to boot. The Max Transfer was set to 128KB and 64KB respectively in different attempts in HD Toolbox and the Mac config, still no joy. He now has to use a seperate 105MB seagate drive with a small boot partition to run S.S and then swap back to the maxtor for normal WB stuff.again any help appreciated. TIA Zener A400/040-16+2MB-Picasso11-Tandem AT+IDE with Mitsumi CD-Rom Seagate 420MB + 120MB(Shapeshifter) Maturing since 1987 ;-)
