I have a real Apple //e Enhanced, but I have never owned any kind of harddisk interface.

Running linapple under emulationstation / retropie on a Raspberry Pi:

https://github.com/linappleii/linapple
https://retropie.org.uk/

I can add a hard drive images like these:

https://archive.org/details/TotalReplay
https://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/mecc-collection-run-classic-eduware-titles-from-a-hard-drive-as-well-as-gs-os/

(are there other good examples?)

However, I have not figured out how to "eject" or "remove" a hard drive once added.

Is there a way to force boot to slot6 when there is a ProDOS hard disk connected to slot 7? Is this the preferred setup?

How many people use the mixed case ProDOS as their preferred release?

https://prodos8.com/ - ProDOS 8 v2.4.2
https://prodos8.com/releases/prodos-25/ - ProDOS 2.5 Alpha 8

It looks like linapple does not support a real time clock. Is there a "standard" real time clock in hardware on 8 bit hardware?

On a real 2e, you can do Ctrl+Reset to get a firmware ']' prompt then 'PR#6'
to start from slot 6. YMMV.

Mixed case? I need to get out more.

The Thunderclock is about the closest to a 2e standard as you get. ISTR that
ProDOS 8 will scan for one and use it without drivers being necessary.

Yep, since the earliest versions of ProDOS. And the Thunderclock is imitated
by other clock card manufacturers, like Applied Engineering's TimeMaster.
