User's
Handbook
Apple does
not
offer a Winchester drive with the Mac*.
However, Apple has announced that their new Lisa
2**
models
will be offered with
5MB*** and lOMB
of
fixed disk storage.
If
you desire additional disk storage, you should examine the
Lisa
2/5
(5MB) and Lisa
2/
10
(lOMB). Also, independent
vendors such as Tecmar have announced Winchester disk add-
ons for the Mac.
THE
KEYBOARD
The keyboard unit consists
of
a standard,
58
key, full
travel, typewriter style keyboard. The keyboard unit
is
con-
nected
to
the main console via a coiled; telephone style cord.
This feature allows the keyboard
to
be moved
to
a convenient
location within five feet
of
the Mac without moving the entire
computer.
The keyboard operates in much the same way as a normal
typewriter keyboard.
It
features all the standard keys with
some minor additions. These additions serve
to
help operate
special functions
on
the Mac. In place
of
the Shift Lock key
provided on most typewriters, the Mac keyboard has a key
labeled Caps Lock. This key operates as a shift for the letters on
the keyboard giving capital letters, but for all other characters,
it has no effect. In order to type the alternate characters, you
must press the Shift key.
The
Command@,
Option, and Enter keys
are
located to
the left
and
right
of
the space bar. Their functions are explained
in detail
on
page 47
of
chapter 3 and page
143
of
chapter
5.
• This may, however, be a future development.
••
At the time
of
this writing, Apple has announced
that
the Lisa 2 series will be
compatible with the Macintosh.

M 8
is
an
abbreviation for megabyte. I M 8
is
equal to I million bytes.
