Re: Networking a Lisa

[Philip Lord]

Thanks James,
That's obviously the answer. I just read the manual.

Thanks for your time in tracking down that crucial piece of information.

The file server feature first appeared in System 7, so computers  
running
earlier systems can only be clients (unless you use third-party  
sharing

software).

Do you have an XLerator installed and turned on? If not, you won't  
be able
to use the Lisa as a server with file sharing in System 7, although  
you
should still be able to connect as a client. For more info, see  
page 9 of

the MacWorks Plus II - Series 1 Update - Manual Addendum.

I also believe that you need more than 2 MB to run System 7  
successfully,
so if you have an XLerator, make sure you have at least 4 MB  
installed.


SCSI <-> Ethernet boxes appeared some time after the MW+II update,  
so you

_might_ be able to turn on file sharing without an XLerator if you are
networked through one of these (or they might require an XLerator  
too). I
have successfully used an Asante Mini EN/SC-10T (with an XLerator),  
but

others may work too.

HTH,

Re: error 23 on lisa2/10

Check the floppy drive to see if it operates smoothly when a disk is
inserted and ejected. Many of these 400k floppy drives do not operate
properly due to sticky grease that must be cleaned off.

Which OS is best is a matter of personal preference.

There are internet sites with various Lisa OS versions, for example:
