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.

Disk 1/2 drop-down menus:
These menus 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. You can also eject images from this menu.

Hard disk Controller Settings:

Enable hard disk controller in slot 7:
A hard disk controller (or interface) card can be plugged in to slot 7 by checking this box. See Hard disk Images for more details.

HDD 1/2 drop-down menus:
These menus allow you to select harddisk images (eg. .hdv files) to connect to the emulated harddisk controller card. You can also unplug images from this menu.

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