the QL and Aurora are only brought out for the specific use fo
testing programs or, sorry Rich, formatting DD disks for the very
occasional Quanta library request.
It seems as if I am the only person actually able to format blank DD
disks using QPC2 and Windows XP. Perhaps its because I have a
Packard Bell floppy reader.
Perhaps those wanting DDs formatted should send them to me!

I can format DD on Windows XP with the built in floppy drive, but the
USB floppy drive doesn't usually want to know. Probably as someone
suggested it doesn't have the sensor for disk type.
In the case of these modern USB floppy drives, I think the issue is
more likely to be the drives themselves on Windows XP systems.
Of course, the issue is probably completely different with Rich's
Windows 7 as DD floppy disk support has been removed from Windows by
Windows 7.
