I made a mistake on my last message. What happens is
when I try to install System 6 on a floppy -- from an installer
disk image on the G3 OS 9.2.2 -- I get a message saying I don't have
the proper software for installation.
There's a Mac version of the Mac Plus emulator VMac at www.vmac.org Basilisk II has been ported to OSX http://www.uni-mainz.de/~bauec002/B2Main.html there may be a "classic" Mac OS port available somewhere.
Another possibility is to get Disk Copy images of 1.44M System 6 install floppies. I don't think Disk Copy 6.3.3 supports 400/800K disks or images. Disk Copy 4.2 does, but then Apple took out support for formatting 400/800K long before OS 9.2.2, dunno about _reading_ them. None of the USB floppy drives will read them.
But since you're wanting System 6 on a IIsi, you don't *need* double density disks since it has a 1.44M drive. :) So you could mount the 400K or 800K images then copy the files to 1.44M disks.
Under 9.1, 1.44mb Sys6 can be made using Diskcopy 4.
Just open and close the system folder to bless it.
Diskcopy4 will also make 800k under 9.1 provided a 800k floppy is inserted. You would have to drop back to OS7.5.x to create 400k disks. Without knowing what model G3 and what floppy drive is being used these maybe pointless facts. ;)
The problem Haroldo has with the hard drives is you have installed the mac disk driver onto the harddrive from a pci mac which is not being read properly by the si, re-partition the drive when its concected to the si after removing *all* partitions on the drive, mainly the "mac driver" partition using a 7.5 disktools disk and HD SC Setup - partition - custom. Although the disk is not mounted on the desktop HDSetup should see it on the scsi bus.
