Actually I think that's a shame, Peter. I know there are technical and
performance issues with going the MDV emulation route, maybe even
insurmountable ones, but it had that kind of "Wow Factor" about it. I
imagined it as the microdrive version of the Hxc Floppy Drive Emulator.
But, anyway, if there was already an expansion bus (or ROM port) connected
SD card interface then I wouldn't be pursuing the Ser-USB project, which was
really the point I was making about product demand.
I have two card readers ( compact Flash IIRC ) that fit into a PC floppy
drive bay and connect to a PC via a Floppy drive cable, I cannot
remember any software being involved although it is a long time since I
used them.
They seemed to just read a C/F card as they would a 3.5 disc.
Unfortunately my QL hardware is stored over three sheds and an attic so
trying them out on a QL floppy drive is not possible without a well
planned expedition to all corners of my domain.
C/flash seems to be going out of fashion anyway I suppose although I
prefer it for tactile reasons - and it can't be that easy can it
All the best - Bill
