Adds two drives on slot 6 for the Apple II. I just needed to update
bios_SELDSK
. I also added a second disk to the build.Tested on the emulators Virtual ][, MAME and my own. I don't have a real machine setup for testing.
A drawback of this second drive support is that the system will be waiting forever on access to B: for a disk to be inserted. That was quite common on the Apple II, but running on an emulator with no disks sounds, the first experience for users testing cpm65 could be bad. That may be reason enough for not merging the change.
The wait happens on
read_header
searching for a sector prologue. I dare not touch all that time sensitive code for the Disk II.
