I’ll try and then you can tell me where to send the floppies. Sent from my iPhone On Feb 25, 2023, at 16:17, Chris Zach via cctalk <[email protected]> wrote: I read that Qrst was just a file format. To quote The QRST disc image format was used by Compaq to distribute disk images of diagnostic software. The file QRST.EXE or QRST5.EXE would be supplied with the disc images to write them to a floppy drive. -So do you have the QRST programs available? Yes. However the QRST program is a 16 bit app that requires physical access to a real floppy controller. Thus it cannot work on a Windows 10 system with DOSBOX as the floppy is USB and I don't think DOSBOX emulates a true floppy interface at the BIOS level. Modern archive tools like 7zip do not appear to have support for QRST format. It's compressed in some odd way, so it can't just be dd'ed to a floppy sector by sector. Never dull. CZ
