I have tried SER-USB device with my QL (Minerva 1.98, SuperHermes,
SuperGoldCard) and a problem appeared.
Using either ROM or disk driver, speed of 9600 or 19200, included SD
card or another SD card, it activates the driver and communicates
with SER-USB, but nothing more.
Neither MOUNT 1,1,1 nor MOUNT 2,1,2 (as described on leaflet) works
("not found", "bad or changed medium" and sometimes "corrupted FAT"
appears).
I tried to initialise a new card using both FORMAT (physical device)
and pm_exe.
I have used 256 MB SD card (! I don't want to destroy the bootstrap
partition on the included 1 GB SD card, so I did not experiment with
it !).
Format says, that it has -1 MB. And after formatting to 128 MB, 8 LBA
per group, it says it was formatted to -32767 sectors.
PM ("partition" command) says, that sector 0 is unreadable.
"Initialise" command starts to checking disk and nothing more.
I have tried both my SER-USB devices, and both behave the same way.
I have tried both QDOS and SMSQ, no difference (excepting behavior of
the pm_exe, as described in manual).
I have tried the power cycle of SER-USB, taking card out and back in,
but it is still the same.
What I am doing wrong?
