- Apple IIe Card Operating Software Version 2.0
-
- In this folder you will find two disk files that constitute the Apple IIe Card
- Operating Software Upgrade Package - the Apple IIe Card Startup disk and the
- Apple IIe Card Installer disk.
-
- This new software will support features that were not available in the previous
- Apple IIe Card software (version 1.0), such as Apple IIe printing to the Apple
- StyleWriter and Apple Personal LaserWriters, ProDOS partitioning on the hard
- drive, and Apple II networking capability. The new stand-alone software
- upgrade package (including manuals) will be available on August 15, 1991 from
- your Apple Authorized dealer (p/n M1222LL/A).
-
- This software update is available at no charge to existing K-12 Apple IIe card
- owners. Institutional owners of Apple IIe cards are eligible to receive this
- software update and installation, on-site, free of charge. Individual owners
- of IIe cards will be able to receive the software free of charge by bringing in
- their Macintosh LCs (with IIe card installed) for software installation. NOTE:
- Manuals are not included in this update, but can be purchased separately if
- desired or needed.
-
- If you currently are using the Apple IIe card and do not require the new
- features included in the version 2.0 upgrade, we suggest that you continue to
- use the original software that came with your card. It will continue to
- provide you with excellent performance.
-
- As with version 1.0, this new version is compatible with System Software 6.0.7
- and 6.0.8, but is NOT RECOMMENDED for use with System Software 7.0.
-
- Users have several choices when using an Apple IIe card with version 2.0
- software.
-
- 1) If you wish to use System 7.0 on your hard drive, you should cold boot from
- the 6.0.8 based “IIe Startup” floppy disk which runs System 6.0.8 and the IIe
- card software. This allows you to keep System 7.0 on your hard drive. If the
- IIe card is run under System 7.0, ProDOS disk partitioning will be unavailable.
- It is, however, NOT RECOMMENDED that the IIe card software be run under System
- 7.0.
-
- 2) If you want to use ProDOS partitioning on your hard drive, you must be
- running under System 6.0.7 or 6.0.8.
-
- 3) If you want to use the Apple IIe card software on an AppleShare network,
- you must run 6.0.7 or 6.0.8 on the AppleShare Server and the user workstation.
- In order to set up the Apple IIe network, you will need to purchase AppleShare
- File and Print Server software version 2.0.1. When configuring the option
- panel, we recommend you use slot one for printing and slot 7 for networking.
- If you want to print to a workstation card you will need Chooser.II.
- Chooser.II is available in the software package that ships with the AppleShare
- IIe Workstation Card software package.
-
- Apple IIe cards purchased after August 15, 1991 will be shipping with the new
- software.
