Hello,

two letters and then formated it just fine.

the number reported by DIR.
The former, I believe, is the number of
Umm ... nice idea.
I've got a Compact Flash card in a pocket computer. Nice devices !
Pity that they are not 'hot swapping', though, as you suggest.
Although they are very useful as a permanent second drive :-)
My backup QL has an 8MB RomDisq from Tony Firshman. Nice as a small

Another new QL program release from me, I'm afraid. This time, it's a
front end program for unzipping zipped files. There are two versions,
one pointer driven and the other not pointer driven. Both need Toolkit
2, and a copy of QL Unzip of course (may be obtained from

w you are saying WIN_FORMAT X will format drive X. So to format the
Syquest I would have to do the following:
WIN_DRIVE 3,1 (Set win3_ to the slave drive on the primary bus)

Ok, I am now able to read the Syquest as win3_. I dumped some files
there and I am able to boot into Linux. From there I put partitions on
