Apple IIe Card - Manual (Page 42)

The options for tracking are
- Slow -- the mouse and the pointer move the same distance
- Fast -- the pointer moves twice as far as the mouse
- Buttons between Slow and Fast -- gradations between one-for-one and two-
for-one pointer and mouse movements
- Very Slow/Tablet -- the pointer moves at a constant speed when the mouse is
moved, a useful setting for drawing with the mouse or using a graphics tablet
To change the mouse tracking rate, follow these steps:
1. Press Control-Command-Esc.
The Option Panel appears, with the General Controls panel displayed.
2. Scroll if necessary to locate the Mouse Card icon, then click it to
display the Mouse Card panel.
The Mouse Card panel appears. The pointer changes to a crosshair when you
place it in the panel.
3. Click the button for the tracking speed you want.
The new tracking speed takes effect immediately; you can test it by moving
the mouse.
After you close the Option Panel, your choice remains in effect until you
choose a different tracking speed.
Configuring Cards and Slots
Many Apple IIe programs are designed to look for certain kinds of hardware,
or cards, in specific locations, or slots, in the computer. Since the
Macintosh LC isn't an actual Apple IIe, it doesn't provide these slots, nor
does it contain the cards. Instead, the Macintosh LC uses software
representations of the slots and cards to simulate the hardware
configurations of an Apple IIe.
The settings in the Apple IIe Option Panel are preset to the configurations
most commonly used by Apple IIe programs. You may never need to change any of
these settings.
Changing the Memory Expansion Card size
Many Apple IIe programs work more efficiently with access to additional
memory. The Apple IIe Option Panel lets you add additional memory by
designating a portion of the Macintosh LC computer's available memory for
Apple IIe programs. Apple IIe programs interpret this extra memory as an
Apple II Memory Expansion Card.
The Memory Expansion Card panel lets you set the size of the Apple II Memory
Expansion Card. The size may be set in 256K increments up to a maximum size
of 1024K (1 megabyte).
1. Press Control-Command-Esc to open the Option Panel.
