 When the Applesauce software is launched, it may notify you that an update is available. In order to keep your software and hardware up to date, the software will check for updates and allow you to download them automatically. The software also has the ability to update the firmware of the Applesauce hardware. If such an update is required, then you will receive a message when starting the software. When the Applesauce software is launched, it may notify you that an update is available.

-When the client detects Applesauce connecting, it will try to identify what type of drive is connected. Once it does that, it will ask you to identify exactly which drive is connected. The Applesauce client maintains a drive profile for each floppy drive that you use, except for Apple 3.5 Drives (and SuperDrives) as these can be queried for all information at runtime. A drive profile contains all of the information it needs to be able to work with the drive. If you do not have an existing profile for the drive, then you will need to hit the gear icon to add a profile.+When the client detects an Applesauce, it will try to identify the type of drive that is connected.

-At the end of the profiling process, it will let you know if it encountered any issues with the drive that can prevent proper usage with Applesauce. If you get the ok, then hit the Save & Use button and you are in business. If there were issues, then you may need to be making adjustments to the drive jumper settings. This can be a bit of a frustrating experience if you are new to the world of imaging disks.+At the end of the profiling process, the client will let you know if it encountered any issues with the drive that prevent proper use with Applesauce.
