 TOPIC -----------------------------------------------------------

 I would like information on running Apple II software on my Performa 430. Do I
 need a card? Where do I install it? Where do I get it, and the necessary
 supporting software?


 DISCUSSION ------------------------------------------------------

 The Apple IIe Card is an accessory card that lets you run Apple IIe programs
 on several Macintosh models.  At this writing, those models were Performa 400,
 405, 430, and 450; Macintosh LC, LC II, and LC III; and Macintosh Color
 Classic. When the Macintosh is in the Apple IIe mode, it performs just
 like an Apple IIe Computer. You can start up and use Apple IIe software
 applications just as you would on an Apple IIe.

 Features of the Apple IIe Card:

 * Runs virtually all Apple IIe applications -- more than 10,000 programs.

 * Applesoft BASIC programming language is built in. The Apple IIe Card
  supports ProDOS, DOS 3.3, and Apple II Pascal operating systems.

 * The Macintosh hard drive may be partitioned for the ProDOS operating system
  to allow mass storage of Apple IIe programs and files.

 * The Macintosh's internal SuperDrive can be used with ProDOS-formatted
  disks. ProDOS disks appear on the Macintosh desktop to allow easy transfer
  of files to the hard drive.

 * Allows connection of one UniDisk 3.5 disk drive and two Apple 5.25 disk
  drives through the Apple IIe Card's connection cable. This cable also allows
  the attachment of an Apple IIe joystick.

 * Can print from Apple IIe applications to any printer that the Macintosh can
  select.

 You can purchase the Apple IIe Card at your Local Apple Dealer. Also, the
 Local Apple Service Provider can install the card. You can find the Local
 Apple Dealer/Service Provider by calling (800) 538-9696. You can also
 purchase the Apple IIe Card from the Apple Catalog (800) 795-1000.

 If you need help with the Apple IIe Card, then you can call the Apple
 Assistance Center at (800) SOS-APPL Extension 555.
