<h3>Clock:</h3>
<p>AppleWin emulates a No-Slot clock (aka NSC).</p>
<p>This is a chip (a Dallas SmartWatch DS1216) that sits under one of the 28-pin ROM chips in the Apple II.<br>
No hardware configuration is required: this chip is always present (unless -no-nsc is used), but won't interfere with emulation when not in use.
<p>This is a chip (a Dallas SmartWatch DS1216) that sits under one of the 28-pin (or 24-pin) ROM chips in the Apple II.<br>
No hardware configuration is required: this chip is always present (unless -no-nsc is used), but won't interfere with system operation when not in use.
</p>
<p>It requires a software driver to be installed (for DOS and ProDOS). This driver then emulates the Thunderclock card.</p>
<p>Here's a summary of NSC/ROM chip locations and which drivers work:</p>

<p>For the <strong>Apple //e</strong>, here's a summary of NSC/ROM chip locations and which drivers work:</p>

<li>"CD" ROM socket: C000-DFFF (internal) ROM space - all drivers work</li>
<li>"EF" ROM socket: E000-FFFF ROM space - never seen any drivers use this space</li>
<li>"CF" ROM socket: C000-FFFF (internal) ROM space - all drivers work</li>

<p><strong>NOTE: </strong>For ProDOS, the load order of drivers is important:</p>
<p>Some .SYSTEM drivers will <strong>not</strong> chain-load the next driver.<br>
NS.CLOCK.SYSTEM does, so ensure this is the first one ProDOS finds,
