The cffa2 is there, and the system will try to boot from it, if it is in slot 7, but, since mame won’t let you do the -hard1, it goes on to boot from slot 6. Not sure what that’s about. You can specify the HD image in the apple2ee.ini file. If you did that, from within Davex, you can do boot -s6 and it will boot from slot 6.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sent from <a href="https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986">Mail</a> for Windows</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='border:none;padding:0in'><b>From: </b><a href="mailto:blindapple@bluegrasspals.com">Kyle via BlindApple</a><br><b>Sent: </b>Sunday, August 8, 2021 4:50 PM<br><b>To: </b><a href="mailto:blindapple@bluegrasspals.com">Blind Apple Discussions</a><br><b>Cc: </b><a href="mailto:kyle@free2.ml">Kyle</a><br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [Blindapple] reading hd files with mame</p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I don't remember how I got a hard disk image, but I do have a talking </p><p class=MsoNormal>hard disk that loads Applesoft BASIC.
