6 Configuring the PC Environment

This chapter explains how to configure the PC environment and change PC options using the PC Setup control panel.

Your Macintosh comes with the PC environment already configured and ready to use. Read this chapter only if you want to change the way the PC environment is set up, or if you have reinstalled the DOS-compatibility software and need to reconfigure it.

You can control how your Macintosh and your DOS-compatible hardware and software work together with the PC Setup control panel. You use the control panel to accomplish the following tasks:

mconfigure PC serial ports

mset display options

mset the shared memory size

mchoose folders or volumes to be shared between the Mac OS and the PC environment

mturn PC sounds on and off and use Sound Blaster sound capabilities

mconfigure PC drives

mturn the PC card on and off

You also use the control panel to switch environments immediately and to start, restart, or shut down the PC.
