Hi, According to MIrcale Systems many years ago, the PC can only format the ED disks to 2.88Mb, but there are problems with the Windows nadled the drives, but that was in Windows 98SE days, maybe fixed now.
Better getting a Gold Card or Supergold Card for the 3.2Gb capacity.

So you need a BIOS that knows about ED drives and you need an ED drive. (Which is called 2.8MB in PC speak.) But the explanation of the FLP_DENSITY command doesn't mention ED density so I very much doubt if QPC2 can handle Miracle's 3.2MB or PC's 2.8MB format.
