Apple IIe Card User Manual

Apple IIe program names often have a period and the word "SYSTEM" after them.
Their icons look like this:
(To see full-size icons like this one, choose "by Icon" from the View menu.)
After you double-click, the IIe Startup program opens and your Apple IIe
program is launched.
The Apple IIe way
When you are in the Apple IIe environment, you start up Apple IIe programs
the same way you would on an Apple IIe:
1. If you have only one disk drive, press Command-Shift-1 to eject the IIe
Startup Disk from the built-in disk drive.
If you plan to start up the Apple IIe program from another drive, you don't
need to eject the IIe Startup Disk.
To eject a disk from a second built-in floppy disk drive, press
Command-Shift-2.
2. Insert the disk containing the Apple IIe program you want to run into a
disk drive.
If a particular slot has already been designated as the startup slot in the
Slot Configuration panel, insert the disk into a drive controlled through
that slot.
3. Press Command-Control-Reset.
Pressing Command-Control-Reset resets the Apple IIe Card and restarts the IIe
Startup program. IIe Startup uses the startup setting in the Slot
Configuration panel to locate a program disk. If a specific slot is
designated as the startup slot, IIe Startup goes directly to that slot. If
the startup option is set to Scan, the program scans the slots in descending
order from 7 to 1. The first startup disk it encounters is loaded into the
computer's main memory, and you see the opening display for the program
you're running.
If IIe Startup encounters a non-startup disk in the startup drive, you see
the message "Unable to Boot from startup slot." The program enters the BASIC
programming environment and presents a BASIC prompt.
If IIe Startup finds no startup disk in any drive, it enters the BASIC
programming environment and presents a BASIC prompt.
From the BASIC programming environment, you can start up a program disk by
typing a BASIC instruction that directs IIe Startup to the disk drive you
indicate.
4. Type pr# followed by the number of the slot to which the startup drive is
assigned.
The most typical instructions are pr#5 for 3.5-inch disk drives and pr#6 for
5.25-inch disk drives.
