<h3>Floppy Controller Settings:</h3>
|
|
<p><strong>Disk Access Speed:</strong><br>
|
|
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.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Disk 1/2 drop-down menus:</strong><br>
|
|
|
|
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 <a href="toolbar.html">using the toolbar</a> or using the F3/F4 keys. Diskettes can be swapped by pressing F5 during emulation. You can also eject images from this menu.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>Harddisk Controller Settings:</h3>
|
|
<p><strong>Enable harddisk in slot 7:</strong><br>
|
|
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.
|
|
</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) 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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can download sample .hdv images from Asimov (eg. <a href="ftp://public.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/" target="_blank">ftp://public.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/utility/misc/hardpc.zip</a>).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>HDD 1/2 drop-down menus:</strong><br>
|
|
|
|
These menus allow you to select harddisk images (.hdv files) to
|
|
connect to the emulated hard drive controller. You can also unplug images from this menu.</p>
|
|
|
|
<strong>Harddisk warnings:</strong>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Unchecking <em>enable
|
|
harddisk in slot 7</em> 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! </li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Also, exiting AppleWin while writing to the harddisk can
|
|
have the same effect. </li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The harddisk state is currently <span style="text-decoration: underline;">not</span> 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>
|
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>

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