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.
