Apple IIe Card - Manual (Page 163)

Appendix B: Using a Hard Disk 147
Technically, the Macintosh will let you store either sort of file on either
sort of partition, but Apple IIe programs can’t see
anything stored on a
Macintosh partition and Macintosh programs may not work well if they’re
stored on an Apple IIe partition.
In short, you’ll always be safe if you store Macintosh files on Macintosh
partitions and Apple IIe files on Apple IIe partitions.
The Apple IIe Card itself requires some software, which you installed in
Chapter 2. That software, including the IIe Startup program, belongs on
the Macintosh partition. You should also have a copy of BASIC.SYSTEM
and PRODOS on the Apple IIe partition.
You can copy, move, and throw away Apple IIe files just like other
Macintosh files, but only when you start up from a disk that has the
startup document ProDOS File System in the System Folder. ( You
learned how to install this file in “Installing the Software on Your Hard
Disk” in Chapter 2.)
In fact, you can only see your Apple IIe files if the ProDOS File System
icon is in the System Folder on your startup disk. If you are a
floppy disk
startup person, as explained in Chapter 2, you must start up from the
IIe Startup Disk to see and manipulate Apple IIe files when in the
Macintosh environment.
If you create an Apple IIe partition on your hard disk as described in
Chapter 1, you will have two copies of the files BASIC.SYSTEM and
PRODOS—one copy on your Macintosh partition and one copy on your
Apple IIe partition. The copies on your Macintosh partition allow you to
start Apple IIe programs by double-clicking their icons. The copies on
your Apple IIe partition allow you to set the partition to be your Apple IIe
startup volume.
