IBM PC Disk Library
---
This [Disk Library](/disks/pc/library.xml) collects all the [Disk Manifests](#disk-manifests) in the
[PCjs Project](/docs/about/pcjs/). These disks are available to any [IBM PC Machine](/devices/pc/machine/)
in the project that uses the library. However, most machines use the *[compiled](/disks/pc/compiled/library.xml)*
form of the library in order to reduce machine load time.
The list below is *not* a complete list of everything in the library, just highlights. For some of the disks,
we have provided more information about the software, and in some cases, machines that automatically run the software.
Ideally, everything in the library would also be listed below, and linked to a page that describes the software in
more detail, along with a live demonstration of the software, but that is not yet a reality.
For application demos, see the [IBM PC Application Archive](/apps/pc/), which focuses excusively on applications.
The [Disk Library](/disks/pc/library.xml) is a superset, including operating systems, application software, diagnostics,
and more.

Disk Manifests
---
Typically, all the distribution disks for a single version of a piece of software are placed in a single
folder, along with a **manifest.xml** file containing *metadata* about the software and a list of the individual
disks. This is generally referred to as a [Software Manifest](/apps/), but in the context of disk management,
it is also known as a Disk Manifest.
A Disk Manifest can then be added to a *[Floppy Disk Controller (FDC)](/docs/pcjs/fdc/)* configuration file,
making all its disks available to any machine loading that particular configuration file.
A simple FDC configuration file, such as [samples.xml](samples.xml), *could* contain individual <disk>
entries like:
<disk path="/disks/pc/dos/ibm/1.00/PCDOS100.json">PC-DOS 1.00</disk>
<disk path="/disks/pc/dos/ibm/1.10/PCDOS110.json">PC-DOS 1.10</disk>
<disk path="/disks/pc/dos/ibm/2.00/PCDOS200-DISK1.json">PC-DOS 2.00 (Disk 1)</disk>
<disk path="/disks/pc/dos/ibm/2.00/PCDOS200-DISK2.json">PC-DOS 2.00 (Disk 2)</disk>
...
However, listing individual diskettes like that is tedious, so support was added for Disk Manifests.
So instead of listing the PC-DOS 2.00 diskettes individually, they can be added to [samples.xml](samples.xml)
with a single line:
<manifest ref="/disks/pc/dos/ibm/2.00/manifest.xml" disk="*"/>
When you want to include only one particular disk from a manifest, set the *disk* value to the *id* of the disk.
Here's how you would include only the *first* disk from PC-DOS 2.00:
<manifest ref="/disks/pc/dos/ibm/2.00/manifest.xml" disk="disk01"/>
For reference, here's what the entire Disk Manifest for PC-DOS 2.00 currently looks like:
<manifest type="software">
<title>PC-DOS</title>
<version>2.00</version>
<type>DOS</type>
<category>Operating System</category>
