Re: Help: can you make that "drive" spin?

["Tom Zuchowski" <tjz@mindspring.com>]

Real Apple 5.25 disk drives have no way to detect if a disk is present in
the drive. There's either a problem with the DSK file, a bug in the
emulator, or else there is a keypress that you don't know of that must be
made.

Did you try pressing the spacebar and the return key?
