Neil,
If you want the facility to write to PC format disks on a standard QL, then
try using my DiscOVER software that can be downloaded from my web page at
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/itimpi/download.htm
If you are using SMSQ/E, then this is unnecessary as SMSQ/E supports IBM
format disks

Of course, there is a bootstrap problem here... how do you get the file you've
downloaded from the
Good point!
I will create a floppy disk image that can be written on the PC to QL format
standards and add that to my web page. That should solve the boot-strap
problem.
There is also some software (cannot remember the name off-hand) that can be
run on a PC to handle QDOS format floppy disks.
Strange - all my PC's running XP have no problem using DD disks.

I ought to have said I can sometimes *read* from them if formatted on
the QL, but cannot write or format on the PC(s).

That is the first time I have heard of a PC only accepting HD disks?
HD
drives should be backwards compatible with DD disks.
Maybe I should put up a QDOS HD floppy image as well as the DD one just
in
case?
He is dead right. Qemulator warns about this and none of my machines
accept

Running is not the problem. Formatting is impossible - try it and you

Hi Steve,

I find with 2M on my GC, data and programs just rattle around inside! Even
with the base 128K machine (around 77K(?) free for use) I used to be able to
do/run more than I could with a 540K PC. Or are people becoming so
bloatware expecting that 4M sounds
