+3 options

See the Weak Disk Data section for more details.

OPTION DESCRIPTION
+3 Detect Speedlock Specify whether the +3 drives try to detect Speedlock protected disks, and emulate ‘weak’ sectors. If the disk image file (EDSK or UDI) contains weak sector data, than Speedlock detection is automatically omitted.


Beta 128 options

See the Beta 128 Emulation section for more details.

OPTION DESCRIPTION
Beta autoboot in 48K When Beta 128 emulation is enabled and a 48K or TC2048 machine is being emulated, this option controls whether the machine boots directly into the TR-DOS system.

See the DivIDE Emulation section for more details.

OPTION DESCRIPTION
DivIDE write protect This option controls the state of the DivIDE EEPROM write protect jumper (E).


DivMMC options

See the DivMMC Emulation section for more details.

OPTION DESCRIPTION
DivMMC write protect This option controls the state of the DivMMC write protection jumper that prevents flashing the EEPROM chip.


Interface I options

OPTION DESCRIPTION
MDR cartridge len This option controls the number of blocks in a new microdrive cartridge. If the value smaller than 10 or greater than 254 Fuse assumes 10 or 254. Average real capacity is around 180 blocks (90 Kb).


Spectranet options

See the Spectranet Emulation section for more details.

OPTION DESCRIPTION
Spectranet disable This option controls the state of the Spectranet automatic page-in jumper (J2).
