Apple IIe Card User Manual
Apple Computers
PREFACE-BEFORE YOU START
Now you have the best of both worlds. With an Apple IIe Card installed in
your Macintosh computer, you can take advantage of the newest Macintosh
technology and still run the world's largest collection of personal computer
software -- more than 10,000 Apple IIe programs. This guide tells you how.
About the Apple IIe Card
The Apple IIe Card is an accessory card that lets you run Apple IIe programs
on a Macintosh LC computer. Once you've set a few options in the card's
Option Panel, turning the Macintosh into an Apple IIe is as simple as double-
clicking an icon on the Macintosh desktop.
While your Macintosh LC is in the Apple IIe environment, it performs just
like an Apple IIe computer. You start up Apple IIe programs, work with Apple
IIe files, use Apple II system utilities -- just as you do on an Apple IIe.
And what you see on the Macintosh monitor is exactly what you'd see on an
Apple IIe monitor.
And you can return to the Macintosh desktop by clicking a button.
