I guess the fact that all is OK if you *remove* qubide eliminates Mplane as a source of the problem. All the pins on the Mplane expansion port are connected together, so moving qubide about makes no odds. Hmmm, not quite all OK, just different without Qubide, hence my email about PAUSE

Anyone successfully using floppy disks under SSMQ/E v3.13 on Super Gold Card? There was an earlier thread about this problem - it only appears related to DSDD disks so far as I could tell - possibly if you reset the computer and then try a HD disk you should be ok, or use FLP_DENSITY H -
