Pointing device

The standard Macintosh pointing device (such as a mouse or trackball) has one button; most PC devices have two. The button on the Macintosh pointing device behaves like the left button on a PC device.

mTo simulate the right button, press the = key on the keypad.

mTo simulate pressing the left and right buttons at the same time, press the mouse button and the = key simultaneously.

If you have Windows installed, you can use its Mouse control panel to switch the button assignment.

Note: DOS does not come with a mouse driver. A mouse driver for Windows is installed on your system along with Windows, however.

Keyboard

The DOS-compatible Macintosh works with all Apple keyboards. In the PC environment, you can use the Option key on an Apple keyboard as the equivalent for the Alt key on a PC keyboard.

You can use the Apple Extended Keyboard and the AppleDesign Keyboard normally. With the Apple Keyboard II, use the following equivalents for keys on a PC keyboard. These equivalents also apply to the Apple Adjustable Keyboard if the function key keyboard isn’t plugged in.
