No, it's supplied separately on the SMSQ/E (or QPC) disc. And normally it does need the extended SER drivers of SMSQ/E anyway, you can however try Simser to extend the standard QL drivers: http://thgodef.nerim.net/smsq/Area11/SIMSER.zip > Marcel, I guess the program has a good reason to primarily look for > the disk's hardware marker (hole) rather than its actual formatting? This mechanism is at work deep below the application level. It's probably even the doing of the controller chip. > Is it possible that data exchange between DD and HD drives is in > principle unsafe beacuse of something like different magnetic ... > whatever ... behavior? Well, the magnetic surface is different, of course, the extra hole is not the only difference between DD and HD discs ;-) Usually it works, but there can be problems.
