Would be useful still for people with basic QLs (with Hermes / SuperHermes of course) who can't find a miracle hard disk and don't want to put the QL in a case... (unless someone knows of a source of external hard disks that can work with QubIDE??)
I use a ROMDisq in this situation, though a new 128MB ROMDisq would solve the problem.

Technically I could make a 16mb RomDisq with the existing hardware.
Unfortunately the minimum chip buy is about UKP5,000, so not on.
