Is it possible to take the disk and system configured for a MacIIcx, and plug it into a MacIIfx and expect it to work without any reconfiguration? fred seibel@bbn.com 617-873-2445

Yes *IF* you installed the standard system. The installer has an option of installing a minimal system for specific CPU and if you used that option then you can't use that system on another type of CPU. -- Michael Peirce -- outpost!peirce@claris.com -- Peirce Software -- Suite 301, 719 Hibiscus Place -- Macintosh Programming -- San Jose, California 95117 -- & Consulting -- (408) 244-6554, AppleLink: PEIRCE

I would bet yes. I upgraded my II to a IIfx with no difficulties with the hard drive. Just plug and play. If it is an external drive you may have to look into some termination issues. The IIfx comes with a speacial SCSI terminator - see manual I'm not sure on the details. GL GSM Responsibility for the views expressed here belongs only to myself and not to any organization.
