PanelDiskSwapper

You can use this panel to insert multiple floppy disk images (e.g. ADF files) into the multiple slots, and quickly swap between them with hotkey combinations or custom mappings on a game controller. The Drive column has a button for each slot, which will cycle through the enable Floppy Drives in the current configuration (e.g. DF0, DF1). Setting an entry to a Floppy drive, will insert that disk image into the designated drive. All supported floppy disk image types can be used.

You can change/insert disk images by using the following key shortcut combinations:

To insert disk image into drive DF0: then press END + F1
To insert disk image into drive DF1: then press END + F2
To insert disk image into drive DF2: then press END + F3
To insert disk image into drive DF3: then press END + F4

You can Eject the disk image from disk drive by use the following key shortcut combinations:

To Eject disk image from drive DF0: then press SHIFT + END + F1
To Eject disk image from drive DF1: then press SHIFT + END + F2
To Eject disk image from drive DF2: then press SHIFT + END + F3
To Eject disk image from drive DF3: then press SHIFT + END + F4

You can quickly swap which disk is inserted into drive DF0 from the DiskSwapper slots, by using the following combination:

END + 1 - 0

You can also control DiskSwapper actions, by mapping a Custom control to spare buttons on a game controller. As a good many Amiga titles with multiple floppy disks were only coded for 1 floppy drive (DF0:), you will find the following two custom mappings to be the most useful:

  • Insert next Disk Swapper slot in DF0:
  • Insert previous Disk Swapper slot in DF0:

The other custom mappings available are:

  • Next slot in Disk Swapper
  • Previous slot in Disk Swapper
  • Insert disk in current Disk Swapper slot in DF0:
  • Insert disk in current Disk Swapper slot in DF1:
  • Insert disk in current Disk Swapper slot in DF2:
  • Insert disk in current Disk Swapper slot in DF3:
