Note: When you name a folder in the Mac OS environment that you intend to share with the PC environment, you may want the name to be compatible with DOS 8.3 filename guidelines. Otherwise, the sharing software will truncate and translate the name to fit the guidelines.
Turning off volume sharing If you no longer want to share a volume, follow these steps: 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 want to stop sharing. A warning message appears telling you that the item will no longer be available. Click OK. Turning off automatic sharing 1 In the Mac OS environment, open the PC Setup control panel.
Configuring the PC serial ports Your PC Compatibility Card supports two serial ports, COM1 and COM2. You can assign 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 unassigned. Note: If you are using the optional PC Serial and Parallel Card to connect a printer, modem, or other device to the PC environment, you do not need to configure the Macintosh serial ports.
To assign a PC COM port, open the PC Setup control panel and choose a setting in the COM1 or COM2 pop-up menu. These are the Macintosh serial ports that can be assigned to COM1 or COM2 in the PC environment. Serial ports already in use (either by the Macintosh or PC) appear dimmed in the menu. IMPORTANT Mac OS programs cannot access a port that you’ve assigned to the PC environment.
Building a custom cable The following chart lists the signals present on the Macintosh Mini DIN-8 serial 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 more information.
Setting up your DOS configuration files When you install the PC Compatibility Card software, it makes all the necessary modifications to your DOS CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. However, there may be times when you want to modify these files. Follow these guidelines: Editing the CONFIG.SYS file Your CONFIG.SYS files should include the following statements: DOS=HIGH,UMB STACKS=9,256 DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:OFF DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS LASTDRIVE=M DEVICEHIGH=C:\APPLE\CDROM.
Setting the number of drive letters You can share folders and volumes with the PC by assigning them to PC drive letters. When you install your PC software, the statement LASTDRIVE=M is included in the CONFIG.SYS file. This allows you to view up to nine folders or volumes at once. To change the number of drive letters, change your CONFIG.SYS file to include the following statement: LASTDRIVE=x where x is a letter between F and Z. (The PC reserves drive letters A through E.

Starting the PC automatically You can set the PC to start automatically when you start your computer, and you can set your computer to switch to the PC environment automatically after startup. To do this, you use the PC Setup control panel. m To start the PC automatically whenever you start up the Mac OS environment, click the box next to “Auto-start PC” to place an X in it.
Restarting the PC in the PC environment To restart (“warm boot”) the PC in the PC environment, use one of the following keyboard combinations: m Control-Alt-… (using the Del key, not the Delete key) m Control-Alt-. (using the period key on the numeric keypad) To reset (“cold boot”) the PC in the PC environment, use one of the following keyboard combinations: m x-Control-Alt-… (using the Del key, not the Delete key) m x-Control-Alt-.
Using floppy disk drives and floppy disks Keep the following in mind when you use floppy disks: m To eject a floppy disk in the PC environment, press x-E. m In the PC environment, the floppy disk drives are A and B. m In the PC environment, you cannot use a Mac OS–formatted floppy disk. If you insert one, it will be ejected. m You can use a locked PC disk in both the PC and Mac OS environments.
Using CD-ROM discs and drives Keep the following in mind when using CD audio discs and CD-ROM discs and drives: m In the PC environment, press x-Y to eject a CD. If the disc cannot be ejected (because a file is in use or the disc is being shared), you will hear a beep. m You can start an audio CD in either environment and continue to listen when you switch environments. (If you start up and switch to the PC while listening to an audio CD, the CD sound may pause for several seconds while the PC starts up.
Note: If the software for your two-button device does not automatically configure your device for the PC or does not include a “Windows Right Mouse Button” option, you may be able to assign the = (equal) key to the right button. 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.
Copying and pasting information between the Mac OS and Windows 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 and Macintosh Easy Open (Mac OS Easy Open) control panel must be installed in the Mac OS and the WINCLIP utility must be installed in Windows.
m If you want to transfer information from the Mac OS Clipboard to Windows, make sure that Windows is running before you switch environments. m Sounds cannot be transferred on the Clipboard between the Mac OS and Windows. You must 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.
Transferring large bitmap images If you are transferring large bitmap images from the PC to the Mac OS environment, you may have to increase the memory allocated to the PC Clipboard application. To increase the memory allocation, follow these steps: 1 Open the System Folder, then open the Extensions folder. 2 Select the PC Clipboard icon, open the File menu, and choose Get Info. 3 In the Preferred Size text box, enter a larger memory allocation, such as 1000K. 4 Close the PC Clipboard Info window.
To start Help in Windows 3.1, follow these steps: 1 In the Program Manager, choose Run from the File menu. 2 Type C:\APPLE\HELP\SETUPHLP.EXE and then click OK. Using shared folders and volumes You can share Mac OS folders and volumes with the PC by assigning them drive letters. The MACSHARE utility (installed with the PC support software) makes this possible. Note: When you name a folder in the Macintosh environment that you intend to share with the PC environment, use a name that conforms to DOS 8.
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 is not displayed 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.
9 Troubleshooting 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. Apple will provide technical support for Apple-branded software and for DOS 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.
Starting up The Macintosh “freezes” during startup. Restart the computer while holding down the Shift key. This turns off extensions. After the computer starts up, restart the computer again. If the computer still doesn’t start up, consult the troubleshooting information that came in its user manual. The PC Setup icon has a red slash through it at startup. The PC setup extension did not load. You may have started up the computer holding down the Shift key, which turns off extensions.
In the PC Setup control panel, make sure the On button is selected. If it is, click Start PC at the bottom of the control panel. If it’s not selected, click it; then restart your Macintosh. Open the PC Setup control panel again and click Start PC. If the On button is selected and you have restarted the Macintosh, but the “Switch to PC,” Start PC, and Shut Down PC buttons are not available, there may be a problem with your PC Compatibility Card. Consult your Appleauthorized service provider.
Switching to and from the PC I can’t remember the command I set to switch back from the PC environment to the Mac OS. In the PC environment, you can always use x-Return to switch back to the Mac OS environment. To change the switch command, see “Switching Between the Mac OS and PC Environments” in Chapter 8. There is a delay when switching between environments. There is 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.
Also, make sure drive C is assigned to a drive container or hard disk drive that contains DOS or Windows software. If you can’t find a drive container, it may have been installed on an external drive that is not turned on, or on removable media that is not available. Or, the drive may have been thrown away or never created. (See Chapter 6, “Installing the PC Compatibility Card Software,” for more information on drive containers.) My monitor flashes oddly when I switch environments.
Make sure that you’ve configured your video software correctly. The PC Compatibility Card does not support resolutions greater than 1280 x 1024. For more information, see Chapter 6, “Installing the PC Compatibility Card Software,” and Appendix D, “Configuring Video Software.” The PC Setup Prefs file may be damaged. Locate the file (in the Preferences folder inside the System Folder) and drag it to the Trash; then restart the Macintosh.
Some application programs that write directly to the hardware (especially games) may not work with some monitors. Contact the software company and ask if the software has a switch to force it to make BIOS calls. The PC Setup control panel does not report the correct monitor type. Hold down the Option key and open the Monitor pop-up menu. Choose “Sense Display Type.” If that does not solve the problem, hold down the Option key and open the Monitor pop-up menu.
Problems using a modem My modem is not working correctly in Windows 95. Try disabling the “Use flow control” or “Use error control” options for the modem. To do so, follow these steps: 1. In Windows 95, click the Start button, choose the Settings menu item, and then choose Control Panel. 2. Double-click the Modem icon. 3. Click the Properties button. 4. Click the Connection tab in the dialog box that appears. 5. Click the Advanced button. 6.
Problems with files and disks I can’t eject my floppy disk or CD when I am in the PC environment. To eject a floppy disk in the PC environment, press x-E. To eject a CD in the PC environment, press x-Y. If you are unable to eject the disk using the keyboard combination, the disk may be in use. Close all open applications in both environments and then try to eject the disk from the Mac OS environment.
I want to change the size of my drive container. Once a drive container is created, its size cannot be changed. If you need to increase the size of your drive container in order to install more applications or files, you can create another drive container and assign it to drive D. I inserted a PC-formatted disk in the Mac OS and an initialization message appeared. PC Exchange may not be installed in the Control Panels folder.
I am unable to use Microsoft Backup. In Windows 95, you cannot use Microsoft Backup because it needs a PC floppy drive controller that does not exist in your Macintosh. You can use a Mac OS backup program to back up your PC container file. You can use Microsoft Backup in Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups. To do so, configure the backup manually by following these steps: 1. Add the following line to the [386enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI file: device=vfintd.386 Your SYSTEM.
Problems with information transfer Copying and pasting between environments isn’t working. Only certain kinds of information can be copied and pasted. See “Copying and Pasting Information Between the Mac OS and Windows Environments” in Chapter 8 for more information. Copying and pasting between Mac OS and Windows works only if the PC Clipboard extension is installed in the Extensions folder inside the System Folder (in the Mac OS) and WINCLIP is installed in the Windows environment.
m Instead of copying and pasting, use a shared folder to transfer an entire file from one environment to another. Some Macintosh and Windows programs can open files created on other platforms. For example, ClarisWorks® for Windows can open ClarisWorks files created in the Mac OS environment, and vice versa. Even if you are using two different programs, you may be able to save a file in a file format that both programs understand, such as RTF for text, and EPS or TIFF for graphics.
Communication and network problems 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 6, “Installing the PC Compatibility Card Software,” and see Appendix C, “Installing Network Client Software”). Make sure the network is up and running (check the Chooser and check with your network administrator). My PC communications software doesn’t work.
Configuration problems I can’t assign a COM port to a Macintosh serial port. COM ports cannot be assigned to Macintosh serial ports that are in use by an application or network software. If you assign a COM port to a Macintosh serial port, the serial port cannot be used by the Mac OS until you unassign the COM port. When I try to use my Mac OS communications software, I get an error that says the selected port is in use.
Check that the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files contain the following lines: AUTOEXEC.BAT (for Windows 95) SET SOUND=C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\CTSND SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6 SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E 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.
I’m using Windows or Windows for Workgroups, and I can’t play audio CDs with the Media Player or CD utilities. Reinstall the MCI CD Audio driver from your original Windows installation disks. To install this driver, open the Control Panel icon in the Main program group. Double-click the Drivers icon, select [MCI] sound driver and click the Add button in the window that appears. Select [MCI CD Audio] from the scroll list and click OK. Insert the specific Windows installation disk if necessary.
When I print a document in the PC environment, the top and bottom get clipped. If you’re using Epson emulation, open PC Print Spooler in the Extensions folder, choose Preferences from the File menu, and select “Gaps between pages.” In the PC environment, configure your applications to print to a 60line page. When I print a document from a DOS application, the fonts don’t look right. Try choosing different fonts.
I can’t print a test page in Windows 95. When you use Add Printer Wizard to set up a printer, do not print a test page until the printer is configured according to the instructions in “Setting Up Printing in Windows 95” in Chapter 7, “Setting Up the PC Environment.” Then you can print a test sheet by doing the following: 1. In the Printers window, click the icon of the printer you just added. 2. Choose Properties from the Printer menu. 3. In the dialog box that appears, click Print Test Page.
Other problems I’m running applications in both environments and they seem sluggish. Significant drive access in one environment (including file sharing) can cause a slowdown in the other. The PC environment is frozen, and pressing Control-Alt-… doesn’t reset the system. Try restarting by pressing x-Control-Alt-period (the decimal point on the numeric keypad) or x-Control-Alt-…. If you can, switch to the Mac OS and click Restart PC in the PC Setup control panel.
Appendix A Removing Your PC Compatibility Card IMPORTANT For detailed instructions on opening your computer, including important precautions, see the chapter earlier in this manual on installing the PC Compatibility Card in your computer model. Disconnecting the cables 1 Unplug the audio cables from the PC Compatibility Card, the logic board, and the CD-ROM drive. Be sure to pull the plugs, not the cables.
To remove a small plug attached to the card, grasp the sides of the plug and pull firmly. It may help to gently rock the plug from side to side as you pull. Gently rock the plug. Don’t pull on the cable. Do not attempt to use pliers to remove any plugs; you may damage the plugs, the card, or your computer. 2 Remove any other cables from the PC Compatibility Card.
Removing the card 1 Check to see if there is a screw installed on the port fence (where the port access cover used to be). If there is, remove it. 2 Check to see if there are levers near the port fence. If there are, press them away from the port access opening. 3 Grasp the card by its sides and pull it straight out of the slot. IMPORTANT Do not rock the card side to side as you remove it. Doing so may break the card or damage the slot.
Appendix B Adding Memory to Your 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 operating system and may improve the performance of your PC software. The DIMM socket accepts an 8, 16, 32, or 64 MB 60 ns, 5-volt DIMM. You may use either EDO or Fast Page Mode memory.
WARNING Your PC Compatibility Card may contain 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.
4 If necessary, disconnect the audio cables from the PC Compatibility Card. Because the audio cables can be difficult to remove, it’s best to leave them connected if possible. If you feel you can pull the card out and access the DIMM slot without disconnecting the audio cables, leave the cables in place. Otherwise, make a note of where the audio cables are connected so you’ll know where to reconnect them later. Then grasp the side of each plug and pull firmly. Be sure to pull the plug, not the cable.
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 straight out of the socket 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. 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 section earlier in this manual that describes installing the card in your model of computer. 1 Insert the card into the slot you removed it from.

Using DOS video utilities For instructions on installing utilities, see “Configuring Video Software in DOS,” earlier in this appendix. VESA BIOS Extension The VESA BIOS Extension (VBE) utility is a DOS TSR program called M64VBE.COM. This program supports software running on VESA modes using mach64 features. If your software and/or games conform to the VBE standard, you should load M64VBE.COM before using your software.
Troubleshooting Using the diagnostics utility You can view and test any installed graphics mode at any supported resolution and color depth by running the Installer 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.
6 Choose Diagnostics from the menu. 7 Select Test Graphics Adapter. 8 Select the test you wish to run. You can select either VGA Tests or Accelerator Tests. Problems and solutions for some common errors found by the test program are provided in the next section, “Solutions and Explanations for Problems.” Solutions and explanations for problems This section describes several checks and tests you can perform to help diagnose problems with your video circuitry.
Memory aperture test fails, diagnostics program locks, or the computer restarts during aperture test. If you see a message that the memory aperture location is conflicting with your system memory, restart the Installer program as follows: C: CD\MACH64 INSTALL Enable Memory Aperture, selecting a location above but not overlapping System Memory (S), BIOS (B), or Reserved (R) locations. The resolution I want is not available (dimmed).
The DAC LUT test failed. An error occurred while testing the DAC LookUp Table. The problem should be visible on the top color bar of any 8 bpp mode. A ROM checksum error occurred.
