Hello once again:
Amidst the degrading display problem I have been having with my SE, I can safely say that my 512ke/Plus hybrid is working perfectly, as if it were almost brand new. Nevertheless, there is a problem.
The fellow that I purchased the computer from finally found the external hard drive for it, and the ImageWriter II printer, which was combined as a package. Altogether, I spent about $40 on this unique system.
To get to the point, the Apple SC20 drive, which has OS 6.0.4 installed on it, and a host of other programs, such as Word, Excel, Adobe Illustrator 88, MacPaint, etc. boots the Plus (I get the glorious happy Mac/Welcome to Macintosh), however, when I get to loading the desktop, the Plus crashes (Sorry, a system error occurred, ID Number= 02).
I have tried the drive on my SE, and it works perfectly (I can access the data on the drive, etc.). However, I must restart the computer to run 6.0.4, as I have 7.1 on the SE, and as we all know, we cannot have two systems running simultaneously, unless we have a program like Switcher (I do, but the boot disk no longer works; I get an error -39 message when I try to open the program from the floppy).
There are moments where I can boot the Mac Plus from a boot disk, then have the SC drive appear on the desktop. But get this, when I open it, no icons appear (although it recognizes that software is on the hard disk; about 6 files, or so).
I have an interrupt switch on the Plus (a great feature by the way), but I have been unsuccessful in overriding the System bomb (I get a whole bunch of 0's appear on the dialog box).
Any help, of course, will be greatly appreciated.
