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. Additionally, a green indicator light will appear on an icon when its device is in use, unless :ref:`Update status bar icons <usage/menubar:Tools>` is disabled.

|
|cassette| Cassette deck

|
|
|
|
* **New image:** create a new cassette tape image file.
|
|
* **Existing image:** insert a :ref:`cassette tape image file <hardware/diskimages:Cassette tape images>` into the deck.
|
|
* **Existing image (Write-protected):** insert a cassette tape image file into the deck as a read-only tape.

Two cartridge icons will appear if the **IBM PCjr** is being emulated. Each icon corresponds to a cartridge slot on the PCjr's front panel.
|
|
|
|
* **Image:** insert a :ref:`cartridge image file <hardware/diskimages:PCjr cartridge images>` into this slot. Inserting a cartridge will reset the PCjr.
|
|
* **Eject:** remove the currently-inserted cartridge from this slot.
|
|
|
|
|floppy_35| |floppy_525| Floppy drives
|
|
--------------------------------------

|
|
|
A 3.5" or 5.25" floppy icon will appear for each configured :ref:`floppy drive <settings/floppycdrom:Floppy drives>`.
|
|
|
|
* **New image:** create a new disk image file. Opens the *New Image* window, which lets you select the image size and where to save the file.
|
|
* **Existing image:** insert a :ref:`disk image file <hardware/diskimages:Floppy disk images>` into this drive.
|
|
* **Existing image (Write-protected):** insert a disk image file into this drive as a read-only disk.
|
|
* **Export to 86F:** convert the currently-inserted disk image file to 86Box's :doc:`../dev/formats/86f` surface image format. You will be asked where to save the converted file.

A CD icon will appear for each configured :ref:`CD-ROM drive <settings/floppycdrom:CD-ROM drives>`.
|
|
|
|
* **Mute:** mute any :ref:`hardware/diskimages:CD audio` played through this drive's analog output. CD audio is unmuted by default on the first configured CD-ROM drive.
|
|
* **Empty:** remove any disc inserted into this drive.
|
|
* **Reload previous image:** reinsert the last disc image file selected through the *Image* option.
|
|
* **Image:** insert a :ref:`CD-ROM or DVD-ROM disc image file <hardware/diskimages:CD-ROM / DVD-ROM optical disc images>` into this drive.

* **New image:** create a new disk image file. Opens the *New Image* window, which lets you select the image size and where to save the file.
|
|
* **Existing image:** insert a :ref:`disk image file <hardware/diskimages:MO / ZIP removable disk images>` into this drive.
|
|
* **Existing image (Write-protected):** insert a disk image file into this drive as a read-only disk.

|
|hard_disk| Hard disks
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
A hard disk icon will appear for each configured :doc:`hard disk bus <../settings/hdd>`. For example, if you have both IDE and SCSI hard disks configured, two hard disk icons will appear: one representing all IDE disks, and another one representing all SCSI disks. No options are available.
|
|
|
|
|network| Network
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
This icon will appear if :doc:`networking <../settings/network>` is enabled. No options are available.
|
|
|
|
|sound| Sound
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
This icon is always present. Double-clicking it opens a sound gain control, which allows you to increase the loudness of all audio produced by the emulated machine's PC speaker, :doc:`sound cards <../settings/sound>` and other sound hardware.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: The gain control does 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.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: MT-32 display functionality is currently only available on **Linux** hosts.
|
|
|
|
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).
