      I've just installed the linapple emulator to play the classic Sierra-Online textadventure Time Zone by Roberta Williams on Raspberry Pi. This game has about 12 disks.

      If I attempt to start disk 1a I get the message that I have to change to Disk 1b. My problem is, I have no chance to switch to the data of disk 1b. I have no idea how to change the disks on the apple emulator.

      Anybody got an idea?

        Have you looked in the Docs to see how to change the disks ?

          @mitu I've just read the Docs and I found the answer of my problem.

          F3, F4 - Choose an image file name for floppy disk in Slot 6 drive 1 or 2 respectively

            Put those files in their own directory, and shorten the names. You'll save headaches. I wrote a guide to simplify apple emulation.

              @alanhorman pressing f1 would have told you this as well.
