Problems Starting Up an Apple IIe Program

I can't start up my Apple IIe program

- Make sure the disk you're using is the correct program disk.

startup disk. The disk should contain the appropriate operating system files

to allow the program to start. (See the manual that came with the program you

want to run for more information.)

Option Panel.

- Check the SmartPort portion of the Option Panel to make sure you have the

disk drives in the correct slots.
