Changing the startup settings

Whenever you start or restart the Apple IIe Card, it scans all the available

disk drives for a program disk, if you've set it to do so. If you've

designated a particular disk drive as the startup drive, the Apple IIe Card

goes directly to that drive.

When the Apple IIe Card is set to scan all available disk drives, it scans

the slots -- in descending order from slot 7 to slot 1 -- for a disk drive

containing a startup disk. If you always start up from the same drive, you

can save time by changing the startup setting to the particular slot number

assigned to that drive. After you've made the setting active (by clicking the

Restart IIe button), the next time you start up a program, the Apple IIe Card

goes directly to the slot you've chosen.

To change the startup setting, 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 Slots icon, then click it to display

the Slot Configuration panel.

The Slot Configuration panel appears. The pointer changes to a crosshair when

you place it in the panel.

3. Position the pointer over the small triangle to the right of the Startup

setting, and then press the mouse button.

A pop-up menu of settings appears with the current setting highlighted.
