Does anyone know of any standard floppy disk imaging software for the QL - to make a single file on the PC for example, which would be the equivalent of a floppy disk which all emulators could read / write to ? Might be an interesting little project if anyone is interested -- Rich Mellor RWAP

Why not just use the venerable rawread/rawrite programs on the PC side that do sector imaging into a file? It would be easy enough to do one that runs on the QL side but is there really a need for it? Somewhere I even have a driver for the PC side that allows such an image to be attached as
