As far as I know SMSQ/E does support ED drives if present, at least mine. Real matter is to find PC with such drives : I never saw one ! I think only IBM ones were shipped with this drives. I think this is a reason why disks were so hard to find ... and expensives. A pity because there was no alternative : the only standard remains 1,44Mo disks (Zip, LS120 etc never replaces it). Now CD is the standard : 640 or 700Mb even when you only have 2Mb or 10Mb to transfer !

Does anyone know? I Don't think it matters rich - QPC doesn't support ED disks because SMSQ/E doesn't. Correct me if I'm wrong, but QPC uses SMSQ/E which has no support for ED disks anyway, so its a defunct argument. I remember a friend who bought SMSQ/E for his gold card and all of a sudden his boot disk wouldn't read - because it was an ED disk.... (I'm open to correction here!!)
