Hi,
Unfortunately nothing happened.
I decided to reinstall OS 7 (downgrade from 7.0.1). I also installed
the 'Tune Up' for System 7.
Upon restart I found I could now see the 'Start' file sharing button
that was missing before. I pressed it and instantly got the message
A problem with your system was encountered. Please reinstall your
system software. Strangely enough this was the messgae I previously
got (and still get) with the old system when I pressed the Start
program linking button...so I'm no closer to getting full networking
to work.
So now I'm truly stumped.

Ok,
Partial success!
I can now connect my Lisa running OS 6.0.8 and 7.0.1 to a
Powerbook 2400c running 8.6.
However I can not see the Lisa from the Powerbook side.
On the lisa running 7.0.1 if I open the 'sharing' control panel, I
can enter in the 'owners name', the 'computer name' and the
password, but I can't see any button that says 'START' sharing???!!!
It's been a while since I have done file sharing in OS 7, but I
assumed there would be a 'START' button like in OS 9. Where has it
gone? Am I looking in the right place?
As for OS6, last time I used sharing on this system was about 18
years ago, so I really have no idea how to start file sharing at
all under 6.

Thanks James,
I will try to connect the Lisa to another mac with an older
system. See if this helps.
I have tried to see the Lisa from the Wallstreet side but nothing
appears in the chooser. I will double check again that sharing on
the Lisa side is on.
Thanks again for the info, I will let you all know how I go.

I have a hacked (not by me) localtalk connector
The lisa is running OS 6.0.8, and the Wallstreet is running 9.2.
when using the chooser I can see the Wallstreet, I can even
attempt to
connect, and the Lisa displays a list of Wallstreet volumes.
I think this indicates you do have (more or less) appropriate
software
installed and your hacked localtalk connector is working.
However, when I try to fully connect, nothing happens!!!
Trying the same thing on the Lisa under OS 7.0.1 causes the
system to
crash with the error:
Sorry, a system error occurred. Chooser divide by zero
I have observed a similar issue with various computers running
system
software pre MacOS 8, including a MacPlus, and IIsi.
I believe the reason is that Apple implemented a new User
Authentication
Module around the time of Mac OS 8 to improve security, and for
whatever
reason, it is not fully backwards-compatible (or perhaps you
need to find
just the right version of the AppleShare Workstation Software).
Searching around on Apple's web site, I found various technotes
including
this one:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=30497
Which says, in part:
Computers that are running system software earlier than system
software
7.5.1 should run AppleShare Workstation 3.5. Computers that are
running
system software 7.5.1 or later (up to but not including 7.5.3)
should run
AppleShare Workstation 3.6.5.
Of course any particular version won't necessarily work on the
Lisa, but it
gives you a limit as to how new a version is worth trying.
If you do find a particular combination of system software and
AppleShare
software that does allow you to mount a MacOS 9 volume on your
Lisa, please
let us know!
Suggestions:
I find that the newer system versions can mount volumes shared
by the older
versions. ie. if you run System 7.x on your Lisa, and turn on
file sharing,
you may be able to mount it on the Wallstreet.
Alternately, I use an older computer running System 7.5.5 as a
file server.
I then mount a volume from this on both older and newer
computers, and use
it to transfer files between them. Since I change configurations
often, I
find the extra hop is less trouble than fiddling with file
sharing in each
new configuration.
HTH,
James
