I'm a floppy disk startup person and sometimes I have trouble launching
Macintosh programs after I've started up from the IIe Startup Disk
- Make sure the IIe Startup Disk has not been ejected before you launch the
program.

Using a Hard Disk
You can use your hard disk to store Apple IIe files and programs, but only if
you create a ProDOS partition, as explained in "Reserving Hard Disk Space for
Apple IIe Files" in Chapter 1.
This appendix explains how to use the partition once you've created it.
Storing Apple IIe Files On a Hard Disk
If you've partitioned your hard disk as described in Chapter 1, storing Apple
IIe files on a hard disk is much like storing regular Macintosh files on a
hard disk.
Here's a rule to help you avoid trouble using the two parts of your hard
disk: Store Macintosh files on the Macintosh partition and store Apple IIe
files on the Apple IIe partition.
Technically, the Macintosh will let you store either sort of file on either
sort of partition, but Apple IIe programs can't see anything stored on a
Macintosh partition and Macintosh programs may not work well if they're
stored on an Apple IIe partition.
In short, you'll always be safe if you store Macintosh files on Macintosh
partitions and Apple IIe files on Apple IIe partitions.
Where To Put the Software for the Apple IIe Card
The Apple IIe Card itself requires some software, which you installed in
Chapter 2. That software, including the IIe Startup program, belongs on the
Macintosh partition. You should also have a copy of BASIC.SYSTEM and PRODOS
on the Apple IIe partition.
Manipulating AppleIIe Files On the Macintosh Desktop
You can copy, move, and throw away Apple IIe files just like other Macintosh
files, but only when you start up from a disk that has the startup document
ProDOS File System in the System Folder. (You learned how to install this
file in "Installing the Software on Your Hard Disk" in Chapter 2.)
In fact, you can only see your Apple IIe files if the ProDOS File System icon
is in the System Folder on your startup disk. If you are a floppy disk
startup person, as explained in Chapter 2, you must start up from the IIe
