First battle won.
I received the LaCie FW external drive today. Formatted it to HFS+ with Disk Setup 1.9.2. Copied a system in it => hurray, it's bootable !!!
Next step, 3 or 4 partitions, I have to think about what I need/want exactly
Temp plan: 4 partitions
- Two "small" partitions to try and test different MacOS9 installs: the 9.0.4 I have on my MacOS9 App (Sheepshaver based), 9.2.2 with a MacOS9 lives .iso/.toast
- a big one for archives: backups of all the installed OS9, collection of CD-Roms from Macintosh Garden, software...
- another big one: pics, vids and comics
In a few days I'll be ready to post a little "Pismo Bliss" something on the forum.
Thanks to many users from this site who provided good advice and tips either here or on hotline.
