Subject: [ql-users] Reading PC
formatted disks
What is the best means
currently of a standard QL with an old floppy disk interface reading PC
formatted disks?? There used to be an old PD program IBMDisk or
similar, but if I recall correctly, it was a bit dodgy.
There must be
something better nowadays for non SMSQ/E
systems..
I came across this problem with
some QL-2-PC users, but it was some time ago. The best program was
from the QUANTA library and I believe it was called QLIBM_exe. It is a
pointer program. The two main problems were the manual, which described an
older version, and the copyright situation. It was uncertain if it could be
distributed to non-QUANTA members.
Sorry I have no time to
thoroughly search all my records, but I know I tested it thoroughly before
recommending it.

There was an ext for Atari
QL emulators that would read PC disks (being similar format)
ATR_DIR might have been the name or something like that, I think it was PD
not sure though Jochen would maybe know.
All the best _
