No, it should work by simply addressing it as FLP1_ as you would on a
QL or Aurora, there is no need to access it as a QXL.WIN at all
(indeed, the system doesn't support QXL.WIN on a floppy on either QPC
or Aurora SMSQE).
I sometimes get problems getting my MinisQL Aurora machine to read the
PC/QL disks from my desktop PC. Both computers have HD disk drives,
but not every disk will transfer successfully. MOST disks formatted on
either machine will work OK, but not all of them, a small number fail
on one or the other. It isn't just between those two computers either,
my wife's laptop which also has QPC on it doesn't always swap disks
with the other computers successfully, again most work OK, a few
don't.
If either computer has a different density of disk drive, this problem
may be worse. a DD disk written to an an HD drive for example may not
always work OK on a DD drive or HD drive on another computer.
I do these transfers in one of two ways:
1) Use a floppy disk I know works on both machines (test it first!)
2) Use SERNET with a serial cable between the computers, article about
this in QL Toady some time ago.
