Apple Mac Performa 640 series - Manual (Page 52)

Switching with a keyboard command
You can set a keyboard command, or “hot key,” to switch between the Mac OS
and the PC environment. To set the hot key, you must be in the Macintosh
environment. (If you are in the PC environment, press x-Return.)
m
To choose a hot key, open the PC Setup control panel and press the Tab key to select
the Hot Key text field; then press the keys you want to use.
The x key is automatically included in the hot key. You can use any other
keys, including Option, Control, and Shift. However, x-Return always
switches from the PC environment to the Mac OS, regardless of the other
hot keys you set in the control panel.
Turning the PC environment on and off
You use the buttons near the bottom of the PC Setup control panel to switch
environments, to restart the PC environment, or to shut the PC environment
off.
m
Switch to PC immediately switches to the PC environment.
m
Start/Restart PC starts the PC environment if it’s off, or restarts it if it’s
running (but doesn’t actually switch to the PC environment).
m
Shut Down PC turns off the PC environment.
IMPORTANT If you click Off at the top of the PC Setup control panel, you won’t
be able to switch to the PC environment. When you restart the computer, the
PC environment is turned off and any RAM you requested for it is available
to the Mac OS. (For more information on requesting RAM for the PC
environment, see “Setting Shared Memory” in Chapter 6.)
