2. Click the Memory Card icon to display the Memory Expansion Card panel.
The Memory Expansion Card panel appears. The pointer changes to a crosshair
when you place it in the panel.
Warning message? If you get a message telling you the Memory Card is not
installed, you can continue with this section, but changing the memory will
not have any effect until you install the Memory Card, as explained in
"Changing the Slot Settings," later in this chapter.

The Apple IIe Card restarts, with the new Memory Expansion Card setting in

If you see a message telling you there wasn't enough memory to install the
Memory Expansion Card, you need to adjust the application memory size as
follows:
- Save your work and return to the Macintosh environment by pressing Control-
Command-Esc to enter the Option Panel, then click the Quit IIe button.
- Select the IIe Startup icon by clicking it once.
- Choose the Get Info command from the File menu. The Info window opens.
- Press Tab to select the current memory size.
- Type the new memory size, which you can calculate as follows: Take the
number you put in the Apple IIe Memory Card and add 350 to it. For example,
if you set the size to 1024, type 1374. (In any case, don't set the size to
be less than the suggested size of 600.)
- Click the close box of the Info window.
- Double-click the IIe Startup icon to return to the Apple IIe environment.
Setting the Serial Cards
The Macintosh LC has two serial ports on the back of the computer, one marked
with a picture of a printer and one marked with a picture of a telephone.
They are called the printer port and the modem port.
Modem port Printer port
Despite the names, you can plug any serial device into either port. The
Option Panel has two icons for Serial Cards (called Super Serial Cards in the
Apple IIe world), one representing whatever is plugged into the modem port
and the other representing whatever is plugged into the printer port.
!! IMPORTANT: In general, you shouldn't use either Serial Card for your
printer, even if the printer is plugged into one of these ports. Instead, use
the Printer Card. !!
The changes you make to the settings for either Serial Card take effect only
if that card is installed in an active slot. Neither Serial Card is installed
