## Disk Settings

### Floppy Controller Settings:

Disk Access Speed:
Here you can choose the speed at which the system can access an emulated floppy disk drive. By default, you would want "Enhanced Speed" so that data can be accessed as fast as possible. However, it is also possible that certain programs might depend on the "Authentic Speed" to function properly. This is the speed at which the real hardware would access data from your drives.

Select Disk 1/2:
These buttons allow you to select floppy disk images (.dsk files) to 'insert' into the emulated floppy drives 1 and 2. This can also be done during emulation by using the toolbar or using the F3/F4 keys. Diskettes can be swapped by pressing F5 during emulation.

### Harddisk Controller Settings:

Enable harddisk in slot 7:
A harddisk interface card can be plugged in to slot-7 by checking this box. You can connect two harddisks to this card by selecting .hdv files on your PC. Each harddisk can have a maximum capacity of 32MB.

On booting, the Apple will always attempt to autoboot from slot-7 first. If the harddisk card is unplugged (not enabled) the Apple will then attempt to boot from slot-6 (this has the Disk][ floppy interface card in it). To boot a floppy disk with the harddisk card enabled, you can issue PR#6 from an AppleSoft prompt.

You can download sample .hdv images from Asimov (eg. ftp://public.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/utility/misc/hardpc.zip).

Select HDD1/HDD2:
These buttons allow you to select harddisk images (.hdv files) to connect to the emulated hard drive controller.

Harddisk warnings:

- Unchecking enable harddisk in slot 7 while the emulator is running would be like physically unplugging the harddisk card on an Apple that is powered on. This can lead to a corrupt .hdv image if the Apple is writing to the harddisk when it is unplugged!
- Also, exiting AppleWin while writing to the harddisk can have the same effect.
- The harddisk state is currently not saved in the save-state image.
- Copy][+ v7.1 locks up when trying to calculate how many free blocks are available when running a catalog. This is a bug in Copy][+ which is fixed in later versions.

Path to CiderPress:
Use this to specify where CiderPress is installed.
The right button context menu on either of the drive icons allows you to open CiderPress with the image in the drive.
