6128, Hxc internal - how to unmount a disk?

[iainjh]

hi

6128. internal HXC (no floppy).

run"hxc works the firts time.

I;ve mounted a game into slot 1.

I've rebooted, CAT, then run it, works great

reboot.

But, CAT shows the game disk is still mounted.

so I cant run"hxc and mount another disk.

what am I doing wrong?

ta!

just press the select/middle button on the floppy emulator.

Ok, I can do that, thanks

However - I've actually got the HXC mounted inside (totally hidden inside) the 6128 so I cant push any buttons. I'd wanted to unmount via software.

Is there a way of mounting/ booting/ executing from disk without unmounting the "disk manager" (I'm using the on screen menu /host control software for the hxc https://hxc2001.com/floppy_drive_emulat ... eendisplay)

or another way to avoid this? hands off would be a lot better in this case.

I do not understand the nature of slots either - they dont do quite what I expect, now I've added autoboot.hfe into slot1 and other disks into slot 2 etc that doesnt do quite what a thought either.

Thanks all for any advice!

for the slots you need the push buttons too...

In your case you force the autoboot.hfe loading.

So to run "hxc, just switch off and switch on the cpc.

thanks, now works perfectly without need to use the hard buttons or, therefore, the display
