Yes they are back, but without "Bad or changed medium" message, with 1GB capacity and
when used with an ide interface they are very fast and could replace internal hd.
Btw, does anyone know why i have to perform a "DEL_DEFB" command after having swapped
(hot) the md , before to see the right content ?
I tried to use mtools package (from J.Hudson) to try to read a dos (fat) formatted md
without success, does anyone know hot to read a fat hd from smsq ?
Obviously all this is valid only for q60, the same md attached to an usb reader is
perfectly visible from qpc like all the other dos disks.

Oggetto: [ql-users] Microdrives for Q40
I know ql-developers is little read.
This might be of interest (It cost Fabrizio E42).
Microdrives are back (8-)#
BTW I wonder if Sinclair trademarked the name?
If he did, then he might earn more money suing IBM than he did off the
QL.

Hi Fabrizio,
I think you mean C.M.-IDE-421.HS (V2). The unit looks very nice, I have
asked the UK supplier how much they retail at.
