Re: [ql-users] Reading PC formatted disks

[Darren Branagh]

IBMdisk was buggy - I recall doing a review of it in one of the first QL today's. It worked OK I think on DD drives but gave dangerous problems on HD ones, or something like that. Thats why I had no problems doing the review and using it - I only had a Trump Card and twin DD's at the time.   There are several other means - QLtools, Mtools, Discover and XOver.     Darren Branagh Director, Wicklow Web Centre Limited Computer Training, Web Design, Repairs sales & Upgrades.

There must be something better nowadays for non SMSQ/E systems.. Jochen's ATR device possibly - is it still available??  Are there any limits on its use?
