I have 2 HD's. On each HD, I placed system folder, one for US OS and one for Japanese OS. By switching a startup device by Control Panel, I can select a Macintosh enviroment. In this case, I used SuitCaseII. I placed font and DA folder in the internal HD and both system's SuitCase refer this folder. So I got same font and DA on each OS environment. BUT, recently, I have re-formatted HD's with 3 partitions by MicorNet formatter (my HD's are MicroNet one). Then, SuitCase II on the external HD doens't load any font/DA at startup. Still I can load any font/DA after booting. But once reboot, SuitCase forget them at all. Of course, SuitCase on the internal HD still loads everything. At now, font/DA folders are placed in the same partition with system folder of internal HD. my configuration is: SE/30 100MB internal HD MicroNet (conner) SCSI #0 100MB external HD MicroNet (conner) SCSI #1 formatter version 4.0M Why can SuitCase load stuffs from another HD which has one partition, but not from another HD which is partitioned ? Is it MicroNet formatter's problem? or the specification of Mac OS? -- ========================================================================== Masato Ogawa Sony corp. ogawa@sm.sony.co.jp Tokyo, Japan ==========================================================================

The problem is that when Suitcase is loaded at startup time, your other volumes haven't been mounted yet, and Suitcase can't find them. You need the ForceMount INIIT, which is available from sumex-aim. If you run ForceMount before Suitcase, Suitcase will be able to find your font and DA suitcases on other volumes. _______________________________________________________________________________ Dean Yu | E-mail: mystone@mondo.engin.umich.edu Patches 'R' Us | Real-mail: Dean Yu A Division of Cyberite Systems | 909 Church St Apt C | Ann Arbor, MI 48104 I'm not the voice of Reason, much | Phone: 313 662-4073 less the voice of Cyberite. | 313 662-4163 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You need MANY THANKS!! I'll get ForceMount soon. But, why could I use SuitCase with single-partitioned HD's? I could startup from SCSI #1 which refers folders on SCSI #0 when all HD's had only one partition... -- ========================================================================== Masato Ogawa Sony corp. ogawa@sm.sony.co.jp Tokyo, Japan ==========================================================================
