I am trying to use a QDOS formatted 1440 sector QL disk under Qemulator.
This formats OK (1440/1440) and copies files perfectly on the QL using
a Miracle floppy drive. However when I try to attach it under
Qemulator 2.3.1 running Minerva 1.98 it gives error 'The drive cannot
find the sector requested'. The drive formats the same floppy fine
under XP.
Has anyone any suggestions?
It gets worse!
I discovered 'format flp1_' is possible under Qemulator.
This formatted to something like 2760/2880.
Odd as the USB drive and disk are HD.
I then tried to save a small file. Qemulator crashed with a pop-up XP
error window.
The drive is still whirring and seeking, even after re-opening Qemulator!
Looks like Qemulator 2.3.1 simply cannot handle floppy drives under XP.
Maybe it is time to try QPC (8-)#
Marcel - will it be happy under VMware running XP within Mac Snow
Leopard and using a USB floppy?
