User's Manual

DIP switches. These switches give the computer
information about its keyboard, coprocessor status,
memory size, video card type, floppy disk drives,
and parallel interface. The switches are preset to
match your system configuration. (Refer to
Appendix A to see how to set these switches if you
change your system configuration.)
Parallel port. You can connect any printer with a
parallel interface into this connector.
Option card access slots. For expansion purposes,
the Apex has space for three option cards (which
control the optional devices you add). One of these
slots is already occupied by your video card, which
allows you to use either a monochrome or color
monitor. Some time in the future, you may want
to use the other two slots to add special devices,
such as a modem or hard disk controller, to your
Apex system.
