Re: More help for Sound Designer Newbie.

2008-11-05 by jmp701

Hi Elm, a stroke of luck tonight ! Despite my concerns over potential
modifications to the EII to get a connection, the Mac SE has connected
fine using the printer serial port. For the first time my EII has
stated 'under Macintosh control' ! :). 

I've got Sound Designer installed via floppy from the PB150 (using
DS/DD 3.5" disk formatted to 800K). HOWEVER, I can't get any SCSI
device to show up on the desktop. I've tried two CD drives, one an
Apple drive that worked with my PB150 plus a zip drive. None will show
up despite changing SCSI ID numbers and terminating the SCSI chain
with the PB150. 

Did you have to change any settings on the SE or did yours appear
automatically? 

Cheers.
