Status bar
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
The status bar located at the bottom of the 86Box window provides icons related to devices attached to the emulated machine. Move your mouse cursor over an icon to see what device it represents. **Most icons can be clicked on** to access options related to their respective devices, which are listed below, and image files can be dropped on the icons for removable media devices such as floppy and CD-ROM drives. Additionally, green or red indicator lights will appear on an icon when its device is in use, denoting reads and writes respectively, unless :ref:`Update status bar icons <usage/menubar:Tools>` is disabled.

.. note:: Sound options do not apply to MIDI music sent to a software synthesizer through the :ref:`System MIDI <settings/sound:MIDI Out Device>` device, as these synthesizers are external to 86Box.
|
|
|
|
Additional information area
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
This area, located to the right of the icons described above, contains additional information which may be provided by components such as the :ref:`settings/peripherals:ISABugger` and :ref:`settings/peripherals:POST card`.
|
|
|
|
Monitor sleep mode
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The *Monitor in sleep mode* message will be displayed if the emulated monitor has been put into DPMS sleep mode by the operating system. Pressing a key or moving the mouse is often enough to wake the monitor up.
|
|
|
|
MT-32 display
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Any text messages sent to the LCD screen of an :ref:`emulated Roland MT-32/CM-32L synthesizer <settings/sound:MIDI Out Device>` are displayed here.
|
|
|
|
ISABugger
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The ISABugger's hexadecimal displays and LED banks are displayed here. See :doc:`../hardware/isabugger` for more information.
|
|
|
|
POST card
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The leftmost hexadecimal value is the most recent POST code reported, while the rightmost value is the second most recent code, like on a real dual-display POST card. A value of ``--`` indicates that no POST code has been reported yet.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: The additional information area can only be used by one component at a time. The MT-32 display has the highest priority, followed by the monitor sleep mode message, then the ISABugger and POST card with the same priority (taking over whenever they're written to).
|
|
|
|
Refresh rate indicator
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
The emulated monitor's current refresh rate, as defined by the :doc:`display hardware <../settings/display>`.
|
|
|
|
|num_lock_off| |caps_lock_off| |scroll_lock_off| Keyboard indicators
