Because you would actually need a FDK_USE FLP statement in the boot 
program for all the QL disk based programs to work.

FLP_USE FDK would mean the programs would need to use LOAD fdk1_test_bas 
(etc) to load files - rather than LOAD flp1_test_bas

Alas the MicroP interface does not have any such command.

It looks like Tony would need to reblow the EPROMs - do we have access 
to the code for Tony Tebby's QFLP EPROM (not sure it would work on a 
MicroP interface though - might be worth a try).
