first in the chain. (See Chapter 1 for instructions.)

- Make sure you've assigned the Apple 5.25 Drive to the correct location in

the Slot Configuration panel -- slot 6.

- Change the Speed setting in the General Controls panel to Normal. (Some

copy-protection schemes prevent a program from running at the Fast setting.)

Problems Running an Apple IIe Program

My Apple IIe program won't work correctly

- If the program is on a hard disk, try running it from its original floppy

disk instead.

- Consult the program's manual for any required slot assignments, and then

change the appropriate slot settings in the Option Panel to correspond to the

required slot assignments. (Some programs require Apple IIe cards to be in

specific slots and will not work if those cards are not installed in the

appropriate slots.)

- If the program runs correctly on an Apple IIe computer, but not on the

Macintosh LC with an Apple IIe Card, make sure the Option Panel Slot

Configuration settings are consistent with the slot assignments in the Apple

IIe computer.

- Change the Speed setting to Normal in the General Controls panel.

- Change the Type Ahead setting to Off in the General Controls panel.

- Move the Clock Card to a Spare Card slot in the Slot Configuration panel.

- Move the Memory Card to a Spare Card slot in the Slot Configuration panel.

- Move all other unnecessary cards to Spare Card slots in the Slot

Configuration panel.

- Some programs don't work well with both the joystick and the mouse

installed. If you have a joystick connected, try disconnecting it.

My Apple IIe program can't open an Apple IIe file

- If you ever opened the Apple IIe file with a Macintosh program, the file

may have been converted to a Macintosh format. Try opening a backup copy of

the file.

My keyboard doesn't work properly

- Make sure the keyboard and mouse are correctly connected to the Apple

Desktop Bus port on the back panel of the Macintosh LC. (See the instructions

that came with your computer.) Make sure the computer is turned off before

you connect or disconnect any cables.

- If you changed the keyboard and mouse configuration after starting the

computer, turn off the computer and then restart it.

- Change the Type Ahead setting to Off in the General Controls panel. (Some

programs are not compatible with the Type Ahead feature.)
