Path to this software: Apple SW Updates Worldwide DOS-Windows DOS Compatibility E-Spanish E-DOS Compatibility 1.5.3 This software consists of a self-extracting archive of a Disk Copy 1440K Macintosh disk image, and two Disk Copy 1440K DOS disk images. To use, download, double-click the downloaded file (this decompresses it), and use Disk Copy to create the disks. Disk Copy can be found in the Utilities folder posted here. If you are using a Power Macintosh or Performa 6100 series DOS Compatible System, you can use Operating System 7.1.2 or 7.5.3 with the DOS Compatibility Software Update. If you are using a Macintosh Performa 630, Quadra 630, or Performa 640CD DOS Compatible, you should use System 7.5.3 with the DOS Compatibility Software Update. If you are currently using System 7.5, 7.5.1, or 7.5.2, you should install the System 7.5 Update 2.0 to update to System 7.5.3. You can order System 7.5 Update 2.0 on a CD or a high density floppy disk set for $13 shipping/handling plus tax from the Apple Order Center by calling 1-800-293-6617, extension 984. For PC Compatibility Card users, System 7.5 Update 2.0 is on the PC Compatibility Card Mac OS Software CD. To install the update, follow the instructions in the PC Compatibility Card User's Manual. External PC-Formatted SCSI Devices If you use a dedicated PC-formatted partition or SCSI device instead of a drive container, you may experience some disk read/write errors. Apple recommends using drive containers on Macintosh-formatted partitions or SCSI devices as your primary method of data storage. Installing Windows 95 Operating System Follow these guidelines when you install Windows 95 on your system: Lock your installation disks. Select "Continue" instead of "Retry" at the end of disk 2. If you choose to make a startup disk, make sure the disk is already formatted. An unformatted disk will not be recognized. After you are done with the installation, refer to the PC Compatibility Card User's Manual for information about setting up printing. During installation, do not print the test page when you are prompted to do so. International Keyboard Support If you are using an international keyboard, be sure to install and use the keyboard files on the PC Utilities CD or from the third disk image included with this software. (The supported languages vary from country to country.) The keyboard files that come with Windows and Windows 95 may not work with your keyboard. INSTALLING APPLE KEYBOARD FILES ON WINDOWS 3.1 1. Start Windows. 2. Insert the "International keyboard files" floppy in the drive. 3. Open the International control panel. 4. Select the desired language in the Keyboard layout area; then click OK. 5. In the Install Driver dialog box, click Browse. 6. Select the appropriate drive containing the keyboard file of the desired language. (Keyboard files have .dll file name extensions). The path is \KEYBOARD\WIN31\\.dll 7. Select the desired file, then close the control panel and restart Windows. INSTALLING APPLE KEYBOARD FILES ON WINDOWS 95 1. Start Windows 95 and click the Start button. 2. Verify the keyboard file (file names have .kbd extension) for the desired language does not exist the System directory (under the Windows directory). Otherwise, delete it by dragging the file in the Recycle Bin and deleting. 3. Click on Settings; then select Control Panel. 4. Double click on the Keyboard icon. 5. Click on the Language tab. 6. If the language you desire to install already appears in the language list, select it and click on the Remove button. 7. Click on the Add button. 8. In the list that appears, select the desired language and click OK. 9. Click the name of the language whose keyboard layout you want to use; then click Set as Default. 10. On the bottom of the window, click on the Apply button. 11. At this point, a small dialog box for locating the keyboard file will appear if Windows is searching for the keyboard file for the first time. 12. Insert the "International keyboard files" floppy in the drive. 13. Click on the Browse button; then select the floppy drive. 14. In the Folders window, locate the folder containing the desired file, then click OK. The path is: \KEYBOARD\WIN95\ 15. Make sure to switch the language in the keyboard bar on bottom right hand (this bar is where the current time appears). 16. Restart any applications that were running during the keyboard installation to active recently selected keyboard file. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The keyboard drivers included on the "International keyboard files" floppy correspond to the keyboard layout of the Apple Design Keyboard and the Apple ISO Extended Keyboard II. Some of the drivers are updates to the ones included on the PC Utility CD; users should install keyboard files from the floppy rather than from the CD. Keyboard drivers are included for Window 3.1 and Windows 95 in support the following layouts: Belgian, British, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French-Canadian, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Spanish, Swedish, Swiss-French In some drivers, the numeric separator in the numeric keypad does not match the separator of the Apple Design Keyboard and the Apple ISO Extended Keyboard II. If that is the case with your desired keyboard driver, you should enter the separator from the main portion of the keyboard. Using a CD-ROM Drive Currently, the PC Compatibility Card only recognizes the following types of CDs: PC format (ISO 9660), dual format (disks formatted for both the Macintosh and PCs), and audio. Some specialized formats are not supported. Macintosh System Starting Up the PC and Macintosh Environments Allow the Macintosh to completely finish rebuilding the desktop before attempting to switch to the PC environment. If you switch during the rebuilding of the desktop, a system "freeze" could occur. Also, the Energy dialog box may appear each time you start your Macintosh; you can turn off this message at startup by opening and closing the Energy Saver control panel. If you set up your Macintosh to switch to the PC environment on startup, disable the shut down warning in the General Controls control panel. Otherwise, you may have to wait for your Macintosh to start up when you switch back to the Macintosh environment. Working with Locked PC Containers You cannot boot from a locked PC container, a PC container that is open on your desktop, or a PC container that is on a write-protected file server. You may not be able to mount a locked PC container if file sharing is turned on. You can correct the problem by either unlocking the PC container or turning off file sharing. Configuring Serial Ports in PC Setup Control Panel After mapping and remapping a PC COM port to one of the Macintosh serial ports, you may have to restart the PC and the Macintosh for the remapping to take effect. If you are using Apple Remote Access (ARA) 2.0 or 2.0.1, you may not be able to start your Macintosh properly after mapping a PC COM port to a Macintosh serial port. To correct the problem, restart while holding down the Shift key to temporarily turn off all system extensions. Then remove the Serial Port Arbitrator from the Extensions folder inside your System Folder, and restart your computer. (Prior to using ARA, unmap the PC COM port and restart your Macintosh.) You can also correct this problem by upgrading to ARA 2.1 when it is available. Technical Support Apple will provide technical support for Apple-branded software and for DOS 6.22 because it is included with the PC Compatibility Card. If you are having a problem with Windows, Windows for Workgroups, or Windows 95, contact Microsoft Product Support. See the support information that came with your Windows package for more information. For complete information, please consult the documents included with this software.
