<hr size="4">
<p style="font-weight: bold;">Overview:</p>
<p>A harddisk interface card can
be plugged in to slot-7 via
the AppleWin Configuration tab labelled Disk. Just
check enable
harddisk in slot 7.</p>
<p>There is provision to connect
two harddisks to this card.
This is done by using .hdv files on your PC. Each harddisk can have a
maximum
capacity of 32MB.</p>
<p>On booting, the Apple will <span style="text-decoration: underline;">always</span>
attempt to
autoboot from slot-7 first. If the harddisk card is unplugged (not
enabled) then
the Apple will then attempt to boot from slot-6 (with the Disk][
interface card
in it). To boot a floppy disk with the harddisk card enabled, you can
issue PR#6
from an AppleSoft prompt.</p>
<p>You can download sample .hdv
images from Asimov (eg. <a target="_blank" href="ftp://public.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/">ftp://public.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/utility/misc/hardpc.zip</a>).</p>
<p style="font-weight: bold;">Warnings:</p>
<ul>
<li>Unchecking <span style="font-style: italic;">enable
harddisk in slot 7</span> whilst the Apple is running will
physically unplugging the harddisk card. This can lead to a corrupt
.hdv image if the Apple is writing to the harddisk when it is unplugged!</li>
<li>Equally, exiting AppleWin
can have the same affect.</li>
<li>The harddisk state is not
currently saved in the save-state image.</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>
