Apple IIe Card - Manual (Page 70)

When you’re in the Macintosh environment, you can treat Apple IIe
programs and other files as if they were ordinary Macintosh files,
provided the files are on a hard disk or a 3.5-inch disk. To copy files
to or from a 5.25-inch disk, you must use an Apple IIe copy program.
Follow the steps in this section to see how similar manipulating Apple IIe
files is to manipulating Macintosh files.
Before you begin: Make sure you’re in the Macintosh environment.
Quit any programs you might be running. Also, have at hand any of your
unlocked old Apple IIe program disks. The disk must be a 3.5-inch
ProDOS disk.
1. If you’re a floppy disk startup person, make sure you’ve
started up from the IIe Startup Disk.
See the instructions in “Starting Up From the IIe Startup Disk,” at the
beginning of this chapter.
2. Insert a 3.5-inch ProDOS Apple IIe program disk into a built-in
disk drive.
You can use any 3.5-inch ProDOS disk so long as it isn’t copy-
protected.
❖ Don’t have an empty disk drive? Eject a disk by pressing
x-Shift-1.
❖
Even though the disk you inserted is an Apple IIe disk, it appears on
the desktop just as Macintosh disks do.
3. Open the disk by double-clicking its icon.
Its window appears.
