[Ql-Users] PC 5.25 Disk
I have a copy of QL 2 PC here by Transform - I have managed to rescue the QL files from microdrive, but there is a 5.25 disk (presumably for the PC side - as I do not have a manual). Can anyone still read PC formatted 5.25 disks and convert it onto a 3.5 disk? Does anyone have a manual for this?

Also PC Conqueror is able to read these disks in PC format. Xover should then be able to produce QL 3 1/4 disks. George ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

He has to, because unlike a 5 1/2 disc, which really has that size, a 3,5 disc is in reality a 90mm disc. This is only roughly 3,5 inches (3,5433 to be precise). ;-) Marcel ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

I will send it to you Kind Regards -- Rich Mellor RWAP Services Specialist Enuuk Auction Programming Services www.rwapservices.co.uk ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
