Cassette and Disk Storage with the Apple lie 185
Once the disk cable connectors have been properly connected
to the disk controller card, the installation of the Disk II system
can be
completed by merely plugging the controller card into
slot 6.
Before installing the disk controller card (or any other card), be
certain that
the power switch at the back of the lie is off. If the
power is on when a card is installed or removed, damage could
result to the card, the lie, or to both.
If you wish to install a second drive, follow the same procedure
except insert the disk drive cable through opening #2 on the rear
of the lie, and attach the disk drive cable to the pins labeled
DRIVE 2 on
the disk controller card.
If you wish to install a third or fourth drive, a second disk
controller card will have to be installed in slot 4. Insert the drive
cables through openings 3 and 4 on the lle's rear panel. The
cable
connector for drive 3 should be installed on the pins
labeled DRIVE 1
on this disk controller card. The cable connector
for drive 4 should be installed on the pins labeled DRIVE 2 on this
card.
If you are installing more than one drive, it is a good idea to label
your drives so as to prevent possible confusion. Remember that
DOS must be
booted from drive 1.
BOOTING DOS
There are several different methods of booting DOS on the
Apple lie depending upon how your lie system is configured as
well as from which language DOS is being booted .
Autostart Boot
The autostart boot is the easiest method of booting DOS 3.3 .
With the Apple lie powered off, place the System Master
Diskette in
drive 1 and close the drive door. Then, turn the lle's
power on . The disk will spin for a few seconds and then stop. The
screen display
will resemble that depicted in Illustration 5-13.
