In this section, you will plan which Option Panel cards to put in which
Option Panel slots. To work properly, Apple IIe programs must know
where various cards are installed. For example, in order to print,
Apple IIe programs must know where the Printer Card is. Furthermore,
some programs may require certain cards to be in certain slots.

Your Apple IIe programs may have special requirements; this section
tells you how to convert those special needs into a plan for arranging
the cards.

You can go about creating your plan in one of two ways:

Base your plan on how accessory cards are installed in your
original Apple IIe.
If you have an Apple IIe computer with a number
of accessory cards installed, you should arrange the cards in the
Option Panel similarly, as described in the following section, “Basing
the Plan on Your Original Apple IIe.”

Base your plan on the typical arrangement used by a typical
Apple IIe user.
If you don’t have an Apple IIe computer or if you
prefer to start from scratch, skip ahead to the next section, called
“Basing the Plan on a Typical Apple IIe.”
