Apple IIe Card - Manual (Page 12)

!! WARNING: If you want to swap drives or devices connected to the Y-shaped
cable, be sure to turn off the computer first. If you change devices while
the computer is on, you may damage the device or the computer, or both. !!
Connecting Your Old Apple IIe Hard Disk
If you have an Apple SCSI hard disk connected to your original Apple IIe
computer, you can connect it to your Macintosh LC and use it just as you
would any other hard disk.
!! IMPORTANT: Only Apple SCSI hard disks can be connected to the Macintosh
LC. If the hard disk was manufactured by Apple and its cable fits into the
large SCSI port on the back of the Macintosh, you can connect it. !!
To prepare the hard disk so your Macintosh can store files on it, you must
erase all the files on it. Follow these steps to make copies of the files,
erase and initialize the hard disk, and connect it to your Macintosh.
Before you begin: Make sure the hard disk is still connected to your Apple
IIe.
1. Turn on the hard disk and your Apple IIe.
2. Copy all the files on the hard disk to some other place.
You can copy the files to a series of floppy disks or to a file server.
3. Turn off your Apple IIe and the hard disk.
4. Make sure your Macintosh LC is turned off.
5. Connect the hard disk to your Macintosh LC.
If you have another SCSI device connected to your Macintosh LC, see the
manuals that came with your hard disk or your Macintosh for detailed
information on connecting several SCSI devices in a chain.
6. Plug in the hard disk, then turn it on.
7. Initialize the hard disk using Apple HD SC Setup.
You can find complete instructions for preparing the hard disk using Apple HD
SC Setup in the manuals that came with your Macintosh or with the hard disk.
8. If you like, you can copy the files you backed up in step 2 onto your
hard disk, provided you created an Apple IIe partition, as described earlier
in this chapter.
What's Next
You've successfully connected your Apple IIe disk drives and other devices to
the Macintosh LC. Next, you must install the software that allows you to use
the Apple IIe Card so you can start your work.
