Re: Apple IIe Card

[noname@noname.net (noname)]

I just installed an Apple IIe emulation card into my LC 475 yesterday and
here is how it went (it went good):

Since I already have Mac OS 8.1 loaded and running on an external SCSI 4GB
drive which is hooked up to my LC 475, I decided to re-install Mac OS 7.1
on the internal 160 Megabyte drive off the disks which originally came
with my computer which I brought brand new back in 1994 on a clearance
sale.

I have two ProDOS partitions on my internal 160 Meg drive, the rest of it
is Mac OS partition.

So after booting up off the internal drive to Mac OS 7.1, I simply
switched over/down to 24 bit addressing, re-booted, and then ran the IIe
Startup (v2.2.1) software which I had previously downloaded off of Apple's
web site.

It worked like a charm, no fuss no muss. Played around with the control
panel (Command-Control-Esc while at the IIe command prompt) and got the
feel of the software/hardware emulation. Hooked up a Platinum 5.25" drive
and booted Atarisoft Donkey Kong as well as tried out AppleWriter //e (DOS
3.3 version) and both worked just fine.

In any event, I'm glad I bought this IIe emulation card.

This is my very first time using one, and the installation of both the
hardware and software was just as easy as installing a Disk ][ interface
card into an Apple ][ Plus.  :)

Needless to say, my Mac LC 475 will now do double duty as both a Mac and
as an Apple //e.
