> I am trying to use a QDOS formatted 1440 sector QL disk under Qemulator.
Hi Tony, to use floppy disks reliably, please upgrade to Q-emuLator 2.5
(uninstall your current version from Control Panel, then install 2.5 from
http://www.terdina.net/ql/winql.html, your existing registration code will
continue to work), it has very important fixes related to floppy disks (a major
bug was introduced after version 2.0, and fixed in 2.5).
If you still have problems or crashes with version 2.5, I'll be happy to
investigate.
In general, trying to format disks on the PC (with the emulator) like you did
is the recommended strategy... in my experience it's easier for QL disk drives
to read floppy disks freshly formatted on the PC than it is for the PC drive to
read old QL disks formatted by Miracle/Cumana/etc. cards...

This part looks fine to me. A HD floppy contains 1.4MB of data, equivalent to
2880 512-byte sectors.
A DD floppy contains 720KB of data, or 1440 sectors;
Thank you,
Daniele
