Just check <span style="font-style: italic;">Enable hard disk controller in slot 7</span>.</p> <p>There is provision to connect two hard disks to this card. This is done by using .hdv or 800KB .2mg files on your PC. Each hard disk can have a maximum capacity of 32MB.</p> NB. The hard disk controller supports both fixed-disk types (up to 32MB) and 3.5" floppy types (800KB). <p>On booting, the Apple will <span style="text-decoration: underline;">always</span> attempt to autoboot from slot 7 first. If the hard disk card is unplugged (not enabled) then the Apple will then attempt to boot from slot 6 (with the Disk][ interface card in it).</p> <p>To boot a floppy disk with the hard disk card enabled, either hold down the Open-Apple key during an Apple II restart or issue PR#6 from an AppleSoft prompt.</p> <p style="font-weight: bold;">Warnings:</p> <ul> <li>Unchecking <span style="font-style: italic;">Enable hard disk controller in slot 7</span> whilst the Apple is running will physically unplugging the hard disk card. This can lead to a corrupt .hdv image if the Apple is writing to the hard disk when it is unplugged!</li> <li>Equally, exiting AppleWin can have the same affect.</li> <li>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.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
