To all you Supermac-kers: I just thought I'd give you an update on my J-700 escapade. I was able to produce a boot disk for Disk Tools (OS 7.5.3) and lo and behold, the J-700 booted (wow!). However, the disk can't see the HD that came with the computer. I strongly suspect that this drive is DOA. The guy that sold this to me on eBay said I would need to "load an OS on the computer." I guess that's because the hard drive is dead. Anyway, I tried this with the Seagate Barracuda ST118273LC rebuilt hard drive that I picked up, the computer saw it, but said it was "unsupported." I suspect that this is because, if I understand this correctly, this hard drive has no internal termination, but rather, relies on termination from the controller/motherboard. I'm hoping that I can still use this as a slave hard drive (I assume that I need to jumper it to an ID setting other than 0. . .). But, at least I know the computer operates. I've ordered a SCSI HD on eBay that's been formatted with Apple Hard Drive Set-up and checked with FWB Hard Drive Toolkit (which I have a copy of). Slowly, but surely, we're getting there! I'll let you know what happens. Again, thanks mucho to all of you that have given me input!
Scott Birdwell DeFalco's Home Wine & Beer Supplies P.S. I, too, am interested in the OS X/OS 9x file sharing question as I hope to set something similar up myself. I've got an eMac running Jaguar which I wish to network with either my C-500 or the resurrected J-700. Thanks, again. -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
