Re: [Ql-Users] USB disk drive
I use a Iomega USB floppy drive together with my Laptop and QPC2. Works perfectly. Installs itself as drive A: in Windows, QPC accepts this as flp1_. There is absolutely no difference to a legacy a: drive. Tobias Thank you Tobias (and everyone else who replied, both off an on list). This should answer the query raised by the Quanta member.

[Ql-Users] USB disk drive
Does anyone haveexperience of using an external USB floppy disk drive on a laptop for use with a QL emulator? My memory of these is that they present themselves as the normal drive A: or B: on a PC, so should be readily accessible to QPC, QL2K, QemuLator etc. Can anyone confirm this, or that this is not the case?

Re: [ql-users] USB Disk drive
Hi David, May not be the problem, consider that some drives put more power into a write, and some are more sensitive in a read. Yes, I know. In old QL-days I had a twin drive, which sometimes gave unpredictable results on some disks. Later on the Atari, the drives a a bit better. But nevertheless, I had similar experiences with native DOS disks not readable on one PC but on another one under DOS or WIN. You could try doing a disccopy in MSDOS, or copying on a QDOS machine to bring a fresh disk to the USB DD I have tried that on my USB drive. It failed but worked on the PC of my wife 8^).
