Preparing the Startup Disk for Your Apple IIe Card
To use your Apple IIe Card, you must have certain files on your Macintosh
startup disk. (A startup disk is any disk -- either a hard disk or a 3.5-inch
floppy disk -- that contains a System Folder.)
This section explains how to install the new Apple IIe Card software on your
startup disk and how to create a new startup disk, if necessary.
If you have a hard disk
If you have a hard disk, use it as your Apple IIe Card startup disk. This
section explains how.
Once you finish this section, it's important to remember that you installed
the software on your hard disk. Many tasks in this book will have special
notes for hard disk startup people. When you see one of these notes, remember
that it applies to you.
