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 command, see “Switching Between the
Mac OS and PC Environments” in Chapter 4.
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. The
PC is performing some system configuration tasks.
When switching would interfere with a Mac OS system task, there is a slight
delay until the task is completed.
There also may be a delay while a large amount of Clipboard information
is transferred.
If you are switching to the PC immediately after starting up the computer,
make sure the Shut Down Warning is turned off in the General Controls
panel in the Mac OS. If it is on, you may not be able to switch back to the
Mac OS for several minutes after switching to the PC.
When I switch to the Mac OS from the PC environment, a message appears:
“PC Clipboard requires additional system services in order to function. Please ensure
that the PC Compatibility Card is successfully installed.”
Mac OS Easy Open software may be turned off or may not be installed.
Restart the computer, open the Mac OS Easy Open control panel, and make
sure the software is turned on. If you can’t find the control panel, you need to
reinstall it.
In the PC environment, I see the message “Non-system disk or disk error. Replace and
strike any key when ready.”
The PC Compatibility Card can’t find operating system software such as DOS
or Windows.
A nonbootable floppy disk may be in the floppy disk drive. Press x-E to eject
the disk; then press any key to continue or try restarting the PC again.
