I i Rodioond lelevisioninlerference The equipment described in this manual generates and uses radìo- frequency energy. If it is not installed and used properly-lhat is, in strict accordance with our instructions it may cause inteaference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and complies with the limits for a Class B computing device in accordance vr'ith the specifications in Subpan J, Part 15, of FCC rules. These rules are designed to provide reasonable protection against such inlerference in a rcsidential installation. However there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in a particular installation, especially if a "rabbit-ear" television antenna is used. (,A. rabbit-ear antenna is the telescoping-rod tlpe usually found on television receìvers.) You can determine whether your computer is causing interference by tuming it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the computer or its peripheral devices. To funher isolate the problem, disconnect the peripheral devices and their input/output (l/O) cables one at a time. If the interference 6tops, it was caused by either tbe peripheral device or the I,/O cable, A shieldedcoblehas q metolllc These devices usually require shielded VO cables. wrqp qroundlhe wlreslo reduce Fo.

If your computer does cause interference to radio or television reception, you can try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures: r Tum the television or radio antenna until the interference stops, I Move the computer to one side or the other of the television or radio. r Move the computer fanher away from the television or radio, ! Plug the computer into an outlet that is on a different circuit than the television or radio. Clhat is, make certaìn the computer and the radio or television set are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.) r Consider installing a rooftop television antenna with a coaxial cable lead-in between the antenna and television. If necessary, consult your authorized Apple dealer or an experìenced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. YourApplellSCSICord The Apple@II SCSICard allows your Apple IIe and your Apple trcSru to coÍimunicate with any device that strictly follows the SCSIinterface. (SCSI stands for SmallComputer Sandard Interface.) This interface transmits your data in parallel fashion (one bit along each ofeight lines, all at once), which is much faster than traditional serial transmjssion (one bit at a time alonq one line). Becauseit is a sandard, the SCSIintedace allows you to connect peripheral devices from many manufacturers to your Apple lle ot Apple IIGS. And you can connect as many as four SCSIperipheral devices at once. The SCSICard, in coniunction wirll the SCSICable System and these devices, can dramatically expand the amount of storage a ilable to your computer, while zipping data to and from the computer much faster than ever before. Whot you need lo sel up your SCSIsystem You need I an Apple Ile or Apple ncs, with the owner's manual, introductory disks, and PToDOS@. r the Apple II SCSICard, s/ith these instructions on how to install it. r the Apple SCSICable System,consisting ofat least one System Cable,one Cable Terminator,and, depending on your office set up and peripheral devices,some PeripheralCables and Cable Extenders. The SystemCable comes with a guide to connecting your computer to the cables and the SCSIperipheral devices. I at least one SCSIperipheral device. fmporlont Pléoseréod lhe Apple SCSICoble S)4lemmonuol before you ottempt to connect onv devices. Your Apple ll SCSICord rt Possibilifiesond Limils The Apple IIe or Apple IIGS use ProDOS, an operating system tlat generally expects no more than two devices will be attached to any one slot. You can put an SCSICard into any slot except slot 3 (which has been used to add 8O-column capability to your computer), and you can attach one or tlvo peripheral devices to the card. And you can use more than one SCSIcard in your computeî, if you wish. 'l.2 Vith PToDOSversion you can also connectup to four peripheral devices to one SCSICard, if you put it into slot 5. You are "remappìng" the location of two of those devices, pretending they are connected to a disk conúoller card in slot 2. So the lrst two of your devices will appear to your SystemUtilities program as drive 1 and drive 2 in slot 5; the second two, as drive 1 and drive 2 in slot 2. You are tricking the operating system into seeing shadows. To maintain the pretense, though, you must be careful not to put afìy disk drive controller card in slot 2, where the opera[ing system thinks you have the two SCSIperipherals. (fou may still use slot 2 for a card that connects with a serial pdnter or modem). In summary: You may install more than one SCSICard in your computer, but only the one in slot 5 can connect to four peripheral devices-and only with PToDOS1.2. If you do not have that version of ProDOS,see your dealer. In general, you should refer to any SCSIdevice by its volume name (for instance, Hard Disk) rather than by drive number and slot number. A word about size: The maximum size storage area that PToDOS recognizesis 32 megab''tes. If you anach a device larger than 32 megabfes, you must carve it up into paÍs, each of which is 32 megabyfesor smaller. (This is sometimes kîowf] as partítíonlng your hard disk irto aolutnes.) For instance, if you attach a 64 megabytehard disk to your SCSIcable, you must use speciial softwre (provided by the disk manufacturer) to divide it into two volumes,of 32 megab''teseach, for PToDOSto be able to use it all.
