LISA newbee, questions about MacWorks Plus II and more....

(1/2) > >>

bmwcyclist:
Here is my setup:

LISA 2/10.
Physical floppy not working, will work on soon, don't plan to use if I don't have to.
Physical Widget not working not sounding good, don't plan to use if I don't have to.

FloppyEMU ver C. I have used these for a while on my Apple ]['s
ESProfile v1.0 with Diag

XLerator 16mhz with SCSI (installed)
PFG from Vintage Micros (not yet installed)

Issue:
When I boot to MacWorks Plus II it get to the "?" floppy and it does not recognise the FloppyEMU so I am stuck and unable to load Mac OS (6/7)
Note: floppy images mount just fine from the FloppyEMU when I boot to MacWorks XL 3.0 from my ESProfile.
Is this because I don't have the PFG installed?

Is there a way to boot all the way into MacOS 7.x with the ESProfile?

Anything else I should be aware of?

Thanks!


jamesdenton:
You will need the PFG installed to proceed with booting MW+II. From what I recall, the behavior is what you are experiencing.

bmwcyclist:
Thank you!

Once that is installed, does that keep me from running other operating systems?

Nope! Completely transparent and will work with Lisa Office System, Xenix, etc

bmwcyclist:
Good news, installing the PFG got rid of the "?" icon and I am using MacWorks IIPlus.

However, now none of the previously working LOS images will boot, they just go into an infinite loop of restarting.
