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
