5 Setting Up the PC Environment This chapter contains information on the following aspects of your PC environment: m DOS configuration files m the PC Setup control panel m monitors and video software m RAM m printer settings m sound options m PC drives m shared volumes m network settings m serial port settings m modem settings 85
Setting up your DOS configuration files You may need to modify your DOS CONFIG.SYS file to work efficiently with your PC Compatibility Card. Follow these guidelines: Editing the CONFIG.SYS file Your CONFIG.SYS should include the following statements: DOS=HIGH,UMB DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:OFF DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS The first line loads DOS into high memory. If you’re using the DOS utility EMM386 and you don’t require expanded memory, use the EMM386 line shown above.
Editing the AUTOEXEC.BAT file Your AUTOEXEC.BAT file should include the following statements: SET TEMP=C:\TMP SET TMP=C:\TMP PATH=C:\DOS LOADHIGH C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /S /D:CDDRVR /L:E LOADHIGH C:\APPLE\APPLEPC LOADHIGH C:\APPLE\MACSHARE C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE /X The first two lines determine the location for temporary files used by DOS applications. The LOADHIGH lines load support, file sharing and CD-ROM software into high memory. The letter “E” at the end of the MSCDEX.
m setting the fade screen option when switching environments m switching to, starting, and shutting down the PC These options are described in this chapter and in Chapter 6, “Working in the PC Environment.” To use the PC Setup control panel, follow these steps: 1 Choose Control Panels from the Apple (K) menu. 2 Double-click the PC Setup control panel to open it. 3 When you have specified the settings you want, close the control panel.
Configuring monitors To connect a monitor, see Chapter 3, “Connecting Monitors and Other Equipment.” In most cases, the Mac OS recognizes the monitor you’re using to display the PC environment. The monitor type appears in the Display section of the PC Setup control panel. If you want special video features such as multiple colors and resolutions, you need to install and configure the video software that came with your card, as described in Chapter 4, “Installing the PC Compatibility Card Software.
RAM information The RAM portion of the PC Setup control panel shows where RAM is installed on your PC Compatibility Card. If a DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module) is installed, the word DIMM appears in the box. If no DIMM is installed, the words On Board appear in the box. If there is a problem with your DIMM or if you’re missing a DIMM, the box says No RAM. For more information on adding memory to your PC Compatibility Card, see Appendix A, “Adding Memory to a PC Compatibility Card.
4 Choose Preferences from the File menu. 5 Choose your preference for printing error notification. 6 Choose an option under “Interpret Print Data as.” m Choose PostScript if your printer supports PostScript. If you plan to print non-PostScript files on a PostScript printer (such as printing files from the DOS prompt), make sure the checkbox labeled “Print non-PostScript as Epson” has an X in it.
Epson emulation options If you chose Epson in the Print Spooler Preferences dialog box, you can make the following settings: m Choose “Gaps between pages” if your applications are configured to print to a 60-line page. If your pages are clipped at the top or bottom when you print, select “No gaps between pages.” m The font in the Default Font box is used when you’re printing ASCII text from DOS and when the Faster Printing option is selected.
Note: If you select Epson in the Preferences dialog box for PC Print Spooler, you can print only to the default paper size in the Mac OS Page Setup dialog box (US Letter in the U.S.). Make sure to configure your PC printing options appropriately. Printing problems If there is a printing problem, the file you’re trying to print will be moved to the Spooler Rejected folder (in the Preferences Folder inside the System Folder).
If you are using the Epson emulation option, select the Epson LQ 2500 driver in each application from which you want to print. If that driver is not available, try one of the following: m Epson LQ-2550/LQ-1050/LQ-1010 m Epson Action Printer 4500/ActionPrinter 4000 For best results, use a fixed-space font such as Courier or use your application’s graphical fonts in your documents. See “Epson Emulation Options,” earlier in this section.
Printing from Windows 95 Before you print from Windows 95 for the first time and any time you change printer drivers, you must follow these steps: 1 In Windows 95, open the Printers folder. If no printers are installed, see your Windows 95 documentation for instructions on how to add a printer. 2 Select the printer that you are printing to. 3 Choose Properties from the File menu. A window appears. 4 Click Details. The Details page appears. 5 Click the Spool Settings button. A dialog box appears.
11 Make sure the checkboxes labeled “Send CTRL+D before Job” and “Send CTRL+D after Job” are unchecked. Then click OK. 12 Close the Properties window. Other than these settings, setting up printing from Windows 95 is the same as printing from Windows. See the previous section, “Printing From Windows or Windows for Workgroups.” Configuring PC sound You can use three kinds of sound in the PC environment: m PC beep sounds m CD sound: You can play and control audio CDs in the PC environment.
Turning PC sound on and off To hear PC sound, you need to turn on sound for the PC and set the sound input device in the Mac OS. Follow these steps: Note: Before you begin, make sure that sound is turned on (not muted) in the Mac OS. 1 Open the PC Setup control panel. 2 Choose an option from the Sound pop-up menu. You can choose the following options: m To hear PC sounds in both environments, choose Enabled. m To hear PC sounds only in the PC environment, choose Auto Enable.
Configuring PC drives To work in the PC environment, you need to tell the PC where PC software and files are stored. You do this by mapping PC drive letters to storage areas using the PC Setup control panel. You can map drive C or D to a PCformatted SCSI hard drive attached to your Macintosh, or to a drive container—a file you create on a Macintosh hard drive that acts as a virtual PC drive. You can also use a drive container created by SoftPC or SoftWindows.
Mapping a drive to a PC-formatted hard disk To map a drive to a PC-formatted hard disk connected to your Macintosh SCSI port or SCSI chain, you first assign the drive letter to the hard disk; then you make sure the hard disk driver is not being loaded by PC Exchange. Follow these steps: 1 Open the PC Setup control panel. 2 Choose Drive Partition from the C: or D: pop-up menu. 3 In the dialog box that appears, locate the hard disk drive you want to assign. 4 Open the PC Exchange control panel.
5 Click Restart PC. IMPORTANT If you intend to make your PC drive available to the Mac OS, do not use a PC compression program. The Mac OS cannot mount compressed drives. Changing the size of a drive container To change the size of a drive container, you create a new one, move files to it, and delete the original container. If you need more space, you can also create an additional drive container to supplement an existing one.
4 Move all the files from the old drive container to the new one. You can move the files in either the Mac OS or the PC environment. 5 In the PC Setup control panel, choose None from the D: pop-up menu to unassign the drive container. 6 Choose Other Drive File from the C: pop-up menu. Locate and select the container you just created. Your new container is now assigned to drive C. 7 Click Restart PC at the bottom of the PC Setup control panel. 8 Click Switch to PC. 9 At the DOS prompt, type DIR.
Sharing a volume To set up a shared volume, follow these steps: 1 If the PC is not already running, open the PC Setup control panel and click Start PC. 2 In the PC Setup control panel, open the Sharing pop-up menu and choose an available drive letter. If no drive letters appear, switch to the PC, open the CONFIG.SYS file, and make sure that both a LASTDRIVE statement appears and sufficient available drive letters are assigned. See “Setting Up Your DOS Configuration Files,” earlier in this chapter.
Turning off automatic sharing 1 In the Mac OS environment, open the PC Setup control panel. 2 Open the Sharing pop-up menu and choose the name of the volume you no longer want to share automatically. Automatically shared items are underlined in the Sharing pop-up menu.
Configuring the PC serial ports Your PC Compatibility Card supports two serial ports, COM1 and COM2. You can map these ports to Macintosh serial ports (such as the printer or modem port) or to a text file for later processing. Or you can leave the ports unmapped. m To map a PC COM port, open the PC Setup control panel and choose a setting in the COM1 or COM2 pop-up menu. Macintosh serial ports already in use appear dimmed in the menu.
Building a custom cable The following chart lists the signals present on the Macintosh Mini DIN-8 connector, and the pins that carry these signals on PC-style DB-9 and DB-25 connectors. You may be able to use this information to build a custom cable to connect your PC-compatible serial device to a Macintosh serial port. Refer to the manual for the serial device you want to connect for the recommended serial connection.
6 Working in the PC Environment This chapter describes the software that you use to work in the PC environment, to switch between the Mac OS and PC environments, and to share data between the environments.
Switching between the Mac OS and PC environments You can use one environment—Mac OS or PC—at a time. You switch between the Mac OS and the PC environments using the PC Setup control panel. Follow these steps: 1 Choose Control Panels from the Apple (K) menu. 2 Double-click the PC Setup icon to open the control panel. 3 Click Switch to PC to switch to the PC environment.
Switching environments with a keyboard command You can set a keyboard command, or hot key, to switch between the Mac OS and the PC environments. The default hot key is x-Return. Note: If you set a new hot key, it will work in both environments, and you can still use x-Return to switch from the PC to the Mac OS. But x-Return will not work to switch from the Mac OS to the PC. To set a new hot key, follow these steps: 1 In the Mac OS environment, open the PC Setup control panel.
To restart (“warm boot”) the PC in the PC environment, use one of the following keyboard commands: m Control-Alt (Option)-[keypad] period (the decimal point key on the numeric keypad) m Control-Alt-… (the Del key, not the Delete key) To reset (“cold boot”) the PC in the PC environment, use one of the following keyboard commands: m x-Control-Alt-[keypad] period (the decimal point key on the numeric keypad) m x-Control-Alt-… (the Del key, not the Delete key) To shut down the PC, click Shut Down PC in the PC
Using floppy disk drives and floppy disks Keep the following in mind when you use floppy disks: m In the PC environment, the floppy disk drives are A and B. m In the PC environment, you cannot use a Mac OS–format floppy disk. If you insert one, it will be ejected. m To eject a floppy disk in the PC environment, press x-E. m To use an unlocked PC floppy disk with the Mac OS, you must switch to the Mac OS environment before inserting the disk. You can use a locked PC disk freely in both environments.
m If you have more than one CD-ROM drive, the PC environment can use only the one with the lowest SCSI ID number. m With some computer models, you can record sound from an audio CD in the PC environment. For more information, see the Sound Blaster documentation that came with your PC Compatibility Card. Using a mouse The standard mouse or other pointing device for Macintosh computers has one button; most PC devices have two buttons that perform different functions.
Using keyboards You can use all Apple keyboards with your PC Compatibility Card. The Option key on an Apple keyboard is the same as the Alt key in the PC environment. On the Apple Extended Keyboard II, use the following equivalents for keys on a PC keyboard. (These equivalents also apply to the Apple Adjustable Keyboard if the function keyboard isn’t plugged in.
Copying and pasting information between environments You can exchange certain kinds of information between the Mac OS and Windows environments using the Copy and Paste commands in the Edit menu in both environments. To do this, the PC Clipboard extension must be installed in the Mac OS and the WINCLIP utility must be installed in Windows.
m Sounds cannot be transferred on the Clipboard between the Mac OS and Windows. You can use a sound translation program to transfer sound files. m When you’re in the PC environment, all Mac OS programs are put in the background and the PC Clipboard runs in the foreground. You can prevent this by removing the PC Clipboard extension from the Extensions folder (inside the System Folder in the Mac OS). Removing the extension turns off clipboard translation between the Mac OS and Windows.
Using shared folders and volumes You can share Mac OS folders and volumes with the PC by assigning them drive letters. The MACSHARE DOS program (installed with the PC support software) makes this possible. Note: PC applications and their files work more quickly in a drive container or on a hard disk than in a shared folder. The performance of Mac OS programs is not affected by placing them in shared folders.
With Macintosh PC Exchange, you can see, move, and copy PC documents as icons in the Mac OS. However, you may not be able to open every kind of PC file in the Mac OS. If you can’t open a file or if the file does not display properly, try one of the following: m Try opening the file using a different application program. m Translate the document into a different file format using a file translation utility. m If your PC program has an Export feature, use it to save the document in a different file format.
7 Troubleshooting in the PC Environment Consult this chapter when you have questions about using the PC environment on your Macintosh. If you have questions about using DOS, Windows, or PC application programs, see the manuals that came with your operating system software or programs.
Starting up The Macintosh “hangs” or freezes during startup. Restart the computer while holding down the Shift key to turn off extensions. After the computer starts up, restart the computer again. The PC Setup icon has a red slash through it at startup. You may have started the computer holding down the Shift key, which turns off extensions. Restart the computer without holding down the Shift key. A RAM disk or RAM cache in the Mac OS may be using too much memory.
The PC didn’t start up. Open the PC Setup control panel. Make sure the On button is selected at the top of the control panel. If it is, click Start PC at the bottom of the control panel. If the On button is not selected, click it; then restart your Macintosh. Open the PC Setup control panel again and click Start PC.
Switching to and from the PC There is a delay when switching between environments. If you have the internal audio/video assembly installed, there is a delay of several seconds when you switch to the PC and the PC still needs to start up. There is also a delay when you switch to the PC immediately after starting it or when you use the x-Control-Alt-… command to perform a hard restart. The PC is performing some system configuration tasks.
Display problems See also the troubleshooting section in Appendix C, “Configuring Video Software.” When I try to switch to the PC environment, my screen is blank or garbled. Open the PC Setup control panel and check the Display portion of the control panel. If you see the message “Not Supported,” your monitor may not be compatible with the PC Compatibility Card.
I tried configuring my display and now it won’t work properly. In Windows 95, if you choose a configuration that won’t display properly, follow these steps to correct the problem: 1. Switch to the Mac OS by typing x-Return. 2. In the PC Setup control panel, click Restart PC. 3. Switch to the PC by clicking Switch to PC. 4. When you see the message “Starting Windows 95,” press to enter Safe Mode. 5. When Windows 95 starts up, click Start, choose Settings, and click Control Panel. 6.
Problems with files and disks I want to assign a drive container to the C or D drive, but I can’t find the drive container in the dialog box. The drive container may be assigned to another drive letter. Check the C: and D: pop-up menus. I want my drive container to have more than one partition. Create a new drive container following the instructions in “Changing the Size of a Drive Container” in Chapter 5. Initialize the drive container in DOS using the FDISK and FORMAT commands.
I can access a floppy disk from one environment but not the other. Only a locked floppy disk can be accessed in both environments simultaneously. Eject, lock, and reinsert the disk, or eject the disk, switch to the environment you want to use it in, and reinsert the disk. The disk must be formatted for the PC if you want to use it in the PC environment. Shared folders don’t get updated in Windows 95. Sometimes you need to refresh shared folders manually in Windows 95.
I can’t copy files from the Mac OS to a drive container currently in use by the PC. You cannot copy files while the PC is running. Shut down the PC and try copying the files again. I can’t connect to a network in the PC environment. Make sure that your networking software is properly installed and configured (see the section on installing network support for Windows or Windows 95 in Chapter 4, “Installing the PC Compatibility Card Software,” and see Appendix B, “Installing Network Client Software”).
Sound problems I can’t install Sound Blaster software. Before you can install Sound Blaster software, you may need to make a temporary change to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file in order to free enough memory for the install utility. Open the AUTOEXEC.BAT file in a text editor and edit the line containing the word “SMARTDRV” as shown: REM C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE Restart the PC by pressing Control-Alt-…, and try the installation again. Be sure to restore the “SMARTDRV” line in the AUTOEXEC.
AUTOEXEC.BAT (for Windows) SET SOUND=C:\VIBRA16 SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6 SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E C:\VIBRA16\DIAGNOSE /S C:\VIBRA16\MIXERSET.EXE /P /Q CONFIG.SYS (for Windows 95 or Windows) DEVICE=C:\VIBRA16\DRV\VIBRA16.SYS /UNIT=0 /BLASTER=A:220 I:5 D:1 H:5 DEVICE=C:\VIBRA16\DRV\CTMMSYS.SYS CD sound went away when I switched environments.
Printing problems Printing doesn’t work. Make sure that you’ve selected the correct preferences in PC Print Spooler (in the Extensions folder inside the System Folder). If your printer does not support PostScript, choose Epson. Make sure that you have chosen appropriate printer drivers in your DOS applications and your Windows environment. If you have a PostScript Level 1 (black-and-white) printer, you must choose a PostScript Level 1 printer driver in Windows—a driver for a Level 2 printer will not work.
When I print a document from a DOS application, the fonts don’t look right. Try choosing different fonts. If you’re using Epson fonts instead of bitmap fonts, use monospace fonts for best formatting results. If you’re using Epson emulation, you may have chosen Faster Printing in the Preferences dialog box of the PC Print Spooler, which prints the whole document using a single font. Choose Better Quality and try printing again.
Appendix A Adding Memory to a PC Compatibility Card Your PC Compatibility Card comes with RAM (random-access memory) already installed. You can increase the memory available to the card by installing a DIMM (dual inline memory module) in the DIMM socket. Memory you add to the card is for the exclusive use of your PC and may improve the performance of your PC software. The DIMM socket accepts an 8, 16, 32, or 64 MB DIMM. The DIMM that your card uses is the same type of DIMM that your computer uses.
WARNING The PC Compatibility Card contains sockets for additional video RAM. To avoid damage to your computer, Apple recommends that you have your Apple-authorized dealer install additional video RAM (for a fee). If you attempt to install additional video RAM yourself, any damage you may cause to your equipment will not be covered by the limited warranty on your computer. See an Apple-authorized dealer or service provider for additional information about this or any other warranty question.
Removing the card For detailed instructions, see the chapter earlier in this manual on installing the PC Compatibility Card in your computer model. 1 If you have not already done so, remove the loopback cable from the port on the back of the PC Compatibility Card. 2 Touch the metal part of the power supply case inside the computer to discharge any static electricity that might be on your clothes or body. Always do this before you touch any parts or install any components inside the computer.
Removing the old DIMM 1 Determine if there is a DIMM in the DIMM slot. RAM DIMM (The number of components and their arrangement on your DIMM may vary.) If there is no DIMM in the slot, skip the next step and go to the next section, “Installing the New DIMM.” 2 Gently push the DIMM lever until it snaps open. Move the ejector lever to the “open” position as shown. The DIMM will partially pop out of the DIMM socket.
3 Pull the DIMM to remove it. If the DIMM sticks, pull gently, but don’t force it. Be careful not to touch the connectors. Set the DIMM aside. (If you wish, you may be able to install it in your computer later. It’s compatible with most Macintosh models.) Pull the DIMM straight out of the socket. Handle the DIMM by its edges only, and avoid touching the connectors. Connectors Installing the new DIMM 1 Remove the DIMM from its static-proof bag. Handle the DIMM by its edges.
2 Make sure the DIMM lever is in the open position. Move the ejector lever to the “open” position as shown. 3 Push the DIMM into the DIMM slot until the lever snaps into the closed position. The RAM DIMM is designed to fit into the socket only one way. Be sure to align the notches in the DIMM with the small ribs inside the socket. With the ejector in the “open” position (as shown), push the DIMM into the socket until it snaps into place. The ejector will automatically “close.
4 Make sure the DIMM is snapped into place on both ends. Make sure the DIMM is properly seated by pressing firmly on both ends. Video DRAM expansion sockets When in the “closed” position, the ejector should engage the small semiround indentation on the side of the DIMM. Reinstalling the card For more detailed instructions, see the earlier section in this manual that describes installing the card in your model of computer. 1 Reconnect the cables to the card as they were before you began this process.
Appendix B Installing Network Client Software The PC Compatibility Card inside your computer supports network drivers that conform to Novell’s Open Data-Link Interface (ODI) and Microsoft’s Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) v.2.0.

Troubleshooting Using the diagnostics utility You can view and test any installed graphics mode at any supported resolution and color depth by running the Install program from the DOS prompt or by running a diagnostics program called M64DIAG.EXE. Note: Do not run M64DIAG.EXE in a windowed or full-screen DOS box. Any time you suspect there is a problem, especially during installation, you should run the above tests.
Solutions and explanations for problems This section describes several checks and tests you can perform to help diagnose problems with your video circuitry. In some cases you can fix the problem yourself; in other cases you may need to consult a specialist. System is locked up. If your system is not responding, try the following: m Make sure the software is installed properly. m Reset the video configuration to factory defaults using the Install program.
The resolution I want is not available (dimmed). The BIOS has been instructed that the mode is not available. If you’re sure your monitor supports the resolution, run the Install program again and use the custom configuration option. A menu item is not available (dimmed). The mode or test is not available for the current configuration. For example, aperture tests are not available if the aperture is turned off.
Video mode tables This section describes the video mode specifications for ATI video drivers using DRAM. When discussing color depth, 8 bits per pixel (8 bpp) is the same as 256 colors. Therefore, the relation between bpp and colors is as follows: Bits per pixel Number of colors 8 256 16 65,000 24 16,700,000 The ATI video drivers also support 15 bpp (32,000 colors). Any resolution and refresh settings that support 16 bpp will support 15 bpp.
