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.
<h3>Hard disk Controller Settings:</h3>
<p><strong>Enable hard disk controller in slot 7:</strong><br>
A hard disk controller (or interface) card can be plugged in to slot 7 by checking this box.
See <a href="ddi-harddisk.html">Hard disk Images</a> for more details.

<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)&nbsp;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>

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>

<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.
