One little problem though... what about other QL platforms? 
(Aurora/SGC/Qubide = Aurora/GF/?). Will the driver work for them too? And 
if it does how will they be able to transfer a whole CD image? Maybe break 
it in pieces and rebuild it on the PC? Sernet, presumably is out of the 
question.... Even with a sH it will take forever to transfer 640+ Megs :-). 
Additionally for the Q40/60 what about good stuff like vCDs and Music CDs? 
Will they play if we choose our own format or the format will only address 
the data only question. And finally... what about Mixed mode CDs?
On the issue of transferring files back and forth, on the Q40/60 there 
won't be a problem as you can boot up your Linux and do it.... however 
there is one catch, how do we access the SMSQ/E partition from Qx0 Linux? 
Should I assume that being Atari Format it is also FAT? (As the Floppies 
for example?) so it can be mounted as UMSDOS or FAT32 r/w at boot time?
