Presentation given at Demosplash 2020 on getting fast load times with the Apple II Disk ][ drive using qkumba's qboot routines. This is used by my game demakes, including Myst and Peasant's Quest.

Marvel at how much faster the Apple II could be at loading from disk compared to other contemporary systems (especially the Commodore 64).
