Up to four floppy disk drives can be attached to the emulated system, although not all BIOSes provide support for more than two drives. The following settings apply to the selected drive:

* **Type:** floppy drive to emulate. Some types have special properties and should only be used in very specific applications:
* **5.25" 1.2M PS/2** and **3.5" 1.44M PS/2:** IBM PS/2 drives, which invert the polarity of the Density Select pin.
* **5.25" 1.2M 300/360 RPM** and **3.5" 1.44M 300/360 RPM**: "3-mode" drives, which are capable of reading 360K 5.25" or PC-98 3.5" disks if the emulated machine's BIOS supports 3-mode operation.
* **3.5" 1.44M PC-98:** NEC PC-98 drives, which are 3-mode and invert the polarity of the Density Select pin.
* **Turbo timings:** run the drive mechanism as fast as possible. This decreases access time and makes some incorrectly-dumped floppies readable, but may cause issues with some operating systems and applications.
* **Turbo timings:** run the drive mechanism as fast as possible. This decreases access times and makes some incorrectly-dumped floppies readable, but may cause issues with some operating systems and applications.
* **Check BPB:** if unchecked, 86Box will ignore the `DOS BIOS Parameter Block <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS_parameter_block>`_ when determining the physical media format for a floppy image on this drive. See :ref:`hardware/diskimages:Floppy disk detection` for more details.
.. note:: Disabling "Check BPB" may be required in order to access UNIX/Linux installation floppies or other non-DOS disks, as outlined on :ref:`hardware/diskimages:Floppy disk detection`.

Time synchronization
--------------------
Time synchronization automatically copies your host system's date and time settings over to the emulated machine's hardware real-time clock. Synchronization is performed every time the guest operating system reads the hardware clock to calibrate its own internal clock, which usually happens once on every boot.
Automatically copies your host system's date and time over to the emulated machine's hardware real-time clock. Synchronization is performed every time the guest operating system reads the hardware clock to calibrate its own internal clock, which usually happens once on every boot.
* **Disabled:** do not perform time synchronization.
* **Disabled:** do not perform time synchronization. The emulated machine's date and time can be set through its operating system or BIOS setup utility. Time only ticks while the emulated machine is running.
* **Enabled (local time):** synchronize the time in your host system's configured timezone. Use this option when emulating an operating system which stores *local time* in the hardware clock, such as DOS or Windows.
* **Enabled (UTC):** synchronize the time in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Use this option when emulating an operating system which stores *UTC time* in the hardware clock, such as Linux.
