[Blindapple] disks without speech and the emulator

[JM Casey]

Hey everyone.

 

I was just looking through the disks for apple talk, and wanted to
investigate atalkgamespro.dsk. I noticed there's a prodos textalker boot
disk; I understand that not all disks include textalker because it takes up
a good number of sectors and you only have so many to play with on a disk.
What I am wondering is, do I have to boot from the textalker pro disk, and
then switch disks, using the method described in the read me file with the
emulator? Or is there a way I could have it read the image from -flop2 and
run the programmes from that? I am trying to recall my own Apple days and I
can't say I ever remember running anything from the second disk drive; it
seems like it was for data purposes only. So, am I correct in thinking the
only way to access these non-talking disks is to exit the emulator and
"switch" disks in drive 1?

 

Thanks again.
