Succes! (well, mostly)

Thanx a lot everyone for the help.

After trying various methods it works.

I've been trying lido, apple HD SC to change the interleave ratio, but since it isn't a apple hard disk, i had to search around but at last it works.

I can now boot Mac OS 6.0.8 from the hard disk.

However i'm not satisfied yet. I would like the Plus to boot mac os 7! (which doesn't exist in a 800k version)

I have another macintosh, so i thought about setting it up to network with the plus, but that's trickier than i thought.

The other macintosh is a black beauty, Performa 5400/180.

I downloaded a system disk called: Appleshare workstation.

Booting up from that disk let's me "see" my performa, but won't let me connect to it (causes a system error).

Installing Appleshare makes the Plus crash at boot: Sorry a system error occurred. ID=12.

Any ideas?
