   Unless emulators actually emulate the drive? Not sure if you think I'm   
   stupid or not. Anyways, drive emulation is often needed on 8-bit   
   Commodores since the drives are "smart", in effect computers in   
   themselves.

   Disk access is authentically slow if activated. I usually have it on and   
   had for this. I find my little retro fun is more fun with that. Vice   
   even emulates drive sounds if requested but that gets tiresome pretty   
   fast.
