PC Setup
This control panel is used for the built-in Reply 'DOS on
Mac' card, containing a DX2/66 processor which is used in
Performa 630s and PowerPC 6100/66 DOS Compatibles.
- In the PC Setup control panel, click on the version
number while pressing the Command key.
This will then start a 'RP-DOS' session on a mini PC
screen. This session is suppose to do some diagnostic tests,
show information, and modifies various DOS things. If
you want, type "help" to see what it can do, as it is
undocumented. However, there is also an egg in the
control panel. In short, the egg is simply a list of
programmers in DOS (which most of us could care less about
since we bought a Mac to avoid DOS in the first place).
Instructions:
cd=change directory (will go to the
directory).
dir=catalog directory (will show the directory).
Think of a directory on a PC like a folder on a
Mac, but as you don't have a GUI to see the files, you must
type these commands.
- After entering the "RP-DOS" session, type dir
to see the "Software, Hardware, Support and Quality"
directories.
- Then type, cd hardware to go to the hardware
directory.
- Then type dir, in the next field, next to the
word "hardware" to see all of the names of those who
developed the software for the Houdini Card.
- Then type cd and one of the names; lets use
the name al_scalise.
- Type dir again next to "al_scalise" in the
next field to see what that person did in that section.
In this case it would say "simulations".
- Type cd to go back to the previous
directory.
Basically, if you know DOS you can go up and down a
directory tree of credits and what they did.
Balloon Help
This feature works in version 1.0.7.
- While running balloon help, click on the version
number while holding down Option
You will see, "This is the System Software Version...
nothing more, nothing less."
