As discussed on the PCjs Blog, this release makes saving disks and machines much easier:

  • Floppy disk images can now be saved to your desktop computer by simply clicking the Save button next to the floppy disk controls. Select the drive first, and then whatever diskette is shown as being "loaded" in that drive will be saved in your local machine's Downloads folder when you click Save.
  • Saving the entire state of any existing IBM PC machine is also easy now, thanks to the new Save Machine links. You can choose to save a machine in its initial state, or make changes to any of the machine's disks and then save it. All your changes should be preserved.

Per the PCjs Documentation, it's still possible to create a new machine, by writing your own machine XML file and manually copying all the other pieces, but the new Save Machine links are the best and easiest way to save any existing IBM PC and embed it on any other website.

WARNING: Since this feature is still "hot of the press," there will probably be some kinks to work out. Every browser seems to have its own idiosyncrasies in terms of what can be downloaded and/or how large it can be. It's also quite possible that certain machine features or modifications may not be properly preserved.

If you're having trouble with a particular browser or a particular machine, be sure to let me know, and then try another browser and/or machine.
