Hello out there, is sernet for the QL free or does it cost money? As far as I understand the matter it is already built into the OS of QPC2, but I would need a software counterpart for the Sinclair black box? So far I only found webpages containing discussions on sernet but not a download page :-(
File transfer via floppy disk is my current alternative, but looks like that is not too reliable - maybe due to the fact that I do not have 'real' 3.5" DD disks but rather HD disks formatted as DD. The QL's disk drive apparently does not have problems with them but QPC2 doesn't recognize DD formatted HD disks unless I close the HD hole with adhesive tape. Marcel, I guess the program has a good reason to primarily look for the disk's hardware marker (hole) rather than its actual formatting? When I close the HD hole on the disk then the QL sometimes reports read errors with files written on the PC's disk drive. I assume my QL's disk drive is not sick, because it never has problems with disks that are only in use on that drive all the time. Is it possible that data exchange between DD and HD drives is in principle unsafe beacuse of something like different magnetic ... whatever ... behavior? Greetings!
