Apple 7300, 4400 manual Getting started, Start up the Mac OS environment

Getting started

This manual describes how to connect monitors and other equipment to your PC Compatibility Card, how to set up the software that came with your card, and how to work with the PC and Mac OS environments.

All the necessary PC Compatibility Card software has already been installed on your new computer. In addition, a drive container with Windows 95 has also been created and designated to be the startup disk for the PC environment. A drive container is a file on your computer’s hard disk that acts as a hard drive for the PC environment. This 500 MB drive container (with Windows 95) is located in the Drive Containers folder on your hard disk.

To start using the PC environment, follow these steps:

1Make sure that a monitor is correctly connected to the PC Compatibility Card.

For instructions on how to connect a monitor and other equipment to the PC Compatibility Card, see Chapter 1, “Connecting Monitors and Other Equipment.”

2Start up the Mac OS environment.

Wait until the Mac OS has finished starting up and the computer desktop and menu bar appear.

3Switch to the PC environment by pressing x-Return.

The Mac OS desktop disappears. (If you set up a dedicated monitor for the PC environment, the image on the Mac OS monitor dims.) After a moment the PC environment boots and then starts Windows 95.

The first time you run Windows 95, the Windows 95 setup program automatically starts.
