GUI: Floppy

Amiberry supports up to 4 emulated floppy drives. There is also support for physical floppy drives connected over USB, with a few different drivers (currently: Drawbridge aka Arduino Reader/Writer, GreaseWeazle and SuperCard Pro).

For each drive, you can select if it will be enabled, the type of the drive (e.g. 3.5" DD) and if it's going to be Write-Protected. You can Insert or Eject a floppy image file into each drive separately, and the dropdown will show you a list of your recently used files.

The floppy drive emulation speed allows you to change the default speed of the drive. You can set it to faster speeds to reduce the time you wait, but keep in mind that this may not be compatible will all scenarios.

To activate the support for physical drives (e.g. Drawbridge or GreaseWeazle), you will need to select a few options:

• Change the type of a drive (e.g. DF0:) from 3.5'' DD to one of the FB: options. There are multiple profiles to choose from: Normal, Compatible, Turbo and Stalling. Experiment with them to see which one works best for you.
• Select the driver you want to use, depending on your physical hardware: For the Arduino controller select DrawBridge, for GreaseWeazle select the relevant option, etc.
• Choose if you want the driver to auto-detect the serial port the device is connected to. This works well in some cases, but fails in others, especially if you don't have the required system permissions. In that case, you can manually select the serial device from the dropdown.
• Optionally, you can also enable or not the DrawBridge-related options at the bottom.
