I have a Fuji USB drive which works perfectly well using QPC & XP (read, write, format), but constatnly fails formatting a DD in Windows 7. Read and write works reliably, though. So it's probably a mix of Windows device driver problem (if it gives problems in XP) and a general lack of implemented support in Windows 7. Just to give a hint to people having problems using USB floppies and XP: The floppy drivers are pretty much interchangable - i.e. you might be able to solve a USB floppy problem by switching to another vendor's driver (Albeit that I would assume this wouldn't cure the Windows 7 problems) Cheers, Tobias. _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
