James, Helmut, Tom and Rick, THANKS.
My goal is to install 7.1 onto a SCSI drive.
I have the SCSI card, with no quickboot chip. (and of course the PFG)
I now have the floppy working...hurray!!!!
The problem was the media. I know have new 'copys' of MWII+ and it
loads fine.
I have given up on the Sun Rum parallel drive for the time being.
I'll figure out what the problem is later...maybe it's just dead...
I also have a SCSI HD (340mb) CONNER drive, that has an unknown
format. Maybe it's Mac formatted, Maybe not.
I don't (at present) have an external case to put the drive in to test.
The problem now comes when attaching this drive to the Lisa and
booting from MWII+ will cause an error when loading the second
'system' disk, and prompts for a restart.
Simply unplugging the drive will not cause this hang and the Lisa
will boot fine.
My next step is to make sure the drive it is formatted correctly. Can
I do this from within OS9? or does it need to be older?
Getting closer.

One quick question...without the PGF will the lisa (with 800k floppy)
still see the MW Plus II disk? my MW Plus II gets spit out
immediatly.
It is possible to boot MW+II on a Lisa without a PFG, but it is then
limited to older versions of the Mac system software and IIRC,
there are
various other restrictions.
There are two MW+II floppy disks, one is a 400k Lisa Boot disk, the
other
is an 800k Mac disk.
After a cold boot, you will need to "startup from" the 400k Lisa
Boot disk.
If you are using the other disk, it will not be recognized and thus
rejected. If Lisa is rejecting the 400K Lisa Boot disk, then the
disk or
the drive may be damaged.
HTH,
James
