Apple 7300, 4400 manual Using CD-ROM discs and drives, Using a pointing device

Using CD-ROM discs and drives

Keep the following in mind when using CD audio discs and CD-ROM discs and drives:

mIn the PC environment, press x-Y to eject a CD. If the disc cannot be ejected (because a file is in use or the disc is being shared), you will hear a beep.

mYou can start an audio CD in either environment and continue to listen when you switch environments. (If you start up and switch to the PC while listening to an audio CD, the CD sound may pause for several seconds while the PC starts up.)

mIf you have more than one CD-ROM drive, the PC environment can use only the one with the lowest SCSI ID number.

mYou can record sound from an audio CD in the PC environment. For more information, see the PC Sound manual that came with your PC Compatibility Card.

Using a pointing device

The standard mouse or other pointing device for Macintosh computers has one button; most PC devices have two buttons that perform different functions. If you do not have a two-button pointing device, you can purchase one from your Apple-authorized dealer. Be sure to ask for an ADB (Apple Desktop Bus) device—input devices designed for a PC will not work with the Macintosh ADB port.

If you have a multibutton Mac OS–compatible pointing device, you may be able to configure it to use the right button in the PC environment. Refer to the instructions that came with your device.

You can use keyboard commands to simulate the actions of the second button. If you are using a one-button device, you can control it as follows:

mThe button behaves like the left button on a two-button device.

mThere are two ways to simulate pressing the right button:

m Select an item and then press the = (equal) key on the numeric keypad. m Hold down the Command key (x) while you press the button.

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