RE: [ql-users] a small but perfectly formed update to QDOS INTERNALS website
Ian, thanks for pointing out my URL error, you are quite correct it should be : http://www.bountiful.demon.co.uk/qdos/index.html As to where the hard disc information lives - I believe it is usually on the very first sector of the disc (same as floppy) which, for the life of me, I cannot remember if it is at address 0 or 1. I think it is 1 but I'm not 100% sure. Cheers, Norman. PS.

I emailed him about the Qmake disk I bought at the Byfleet show but have not had a reply. I'm pretty sure that if you haven't had a reply he hasn't got your email. he generally is pretty responsive. Just looking at the hard disk details. On a disk with a single QWA partition on it, which physical sector would that information be found in? the very first sector. wolfgang - www.wlenerz.com

The QWA file system normaly has its Primary Partition Table at sector 0. To check: open#3; win1_*d2d get#3\0; sec$: close#3 print sec$(1 to 4) If that shows QLWA then youre looking directly at your hard disk partition (a QXL.WIN-type FAT) If it says QWA youre looking at the QL PPT. To find your QLWA FAT you need to get its starting sector out of the primary partition table: start_sector = $1c7 + win_no * 12 Check the location at start_sector to see that you got a QWA flag (rather than GEM, LNX, etc). For a single partition my guess is it would be located at sector #1, but this would depend on what program was used to create the partition table(s) and how it was created, as the GEM partitioning scheme (on which QWA is based) allows for plenty of flexibility. However, I suspect, only a small subset has been implemented in the Qx0 version of SMSQ/E, and a lot of that is, lets say, in the early stages of development (SMSQ/E v 2.9x). Per
