No problems with my USB Floppy Drive on my (Vista) Laptop and QPC2. Works just like flp1_ John Gilpin. gdgqler wrote: On 12 Oct 2009, at 18:54, Rich Mellor wrote: Can anyone please confirm that both QPC2 and q-emulator will work with a USB floppy disk drive - I am looking to upgrade my PC, but most of them don't have built in floppy disk drives any more :-( I use a floppy USB drive with my QPC2.

Re: [Ql-Users] Using a QL Emulator on a PC with a USB floppy disk drive
Rich, Yes, they both work. QPC2 treats the drive as a native QDOS floppy right away. With Q-emuLator you have to mount it as a QDOS floppy on one of the MDV slots, but it works.

Re: [Ql-Users] Using a QL Emulator on a PC with a USB floppy disk drive
fyi. I'm running both emulators under Vista on a Sony VAIO laptop with no onboard floppy drive, so USB is the only option. --- On Monday, October 12, 2009, 7:04:03 PM, I wrote: ADI Rich, ADI Yes, they both work.

Re: [Ql-Users] Using a QL Emulator on a PC with a USB floppy disk drive
I can confirm that it works too. If you plug in two USB floppy disks, the first becomes A: and the second B: ... quite the way it should be. I wonder what happens if you plug in a third one :-))) Jochen Adrian D. Ives wrote: fyi.
