Neil, If you have SMSQ/E then it can read DOS format floppy disks without problems. If you have any problems with that you can get a copy of DiscOVER from my web page that can read these floppies under any QL variant operating system. There is also a utility (cannot remember the name off-hand) that allows you to read/write QDOS format disks from MSDOS side of the interface.
