Ah! Very good idea! With the right passive CF-IDE adapters, those might
not suffer the same problem as the SD-IDE converters, which allow no
slave. Also they are quite compact.
Thanks

Hi,
this is the "device" I use on the Q60:
https://www.amazon.fr/Syba-SD-ADA45006-Interne-lecteur-m%C3%A9moire/dp/B0036DDXUM
The device can fit 2 CF, the master on one side, the slave on the other.
- As a master I have an IBM microdrive (1gb) divided with 2 QLWA
Atari partitions each
Hmm, I remember (from my Atari times) that I had my QLWA partition as
the 2nd one of the Megafile. Wasn't it configurable in SMSQ/E, where it
has to look for a BOOT?
Cheers...Ralf

FYI, the list doesn't allow attachments, so they are filtered out.

No, it was I who misunderstood!
Theoretically, there are limits, in practice, you'll be more limited by
the disk size limitation itself than the directory size.

Regarding the internals of a QXL.WIN disk, I documented that at
http://qdosmsq.dunbar-it.co.uk/doku.php?id=qdosmsq:fs:qlwa there's a
table at the end with host file sizes and the resulting internal block size.

It isn't so much the fact that the ROMs are compressed, I just sped up
the Qx0 boot time whilst I was at it.

Hi,
I have used a 1GiB file w/o problems.
I may be wrong, but I dimly remember somebody telling me they use a 2
GiB long QXL.Win container.
The fact to be aware of is that these containers can always, at the
most, deals with 65536 clusters, as the number of clusters (called

The 27C4096 fits. Nowadays, most of them are OTP though.

I don't feel it necessary to release a new version of SMSQE for this.
FTB, if you need/want this rom, contact me by mail, I'll sent it to you.
Have fun.

Hi,
The Qx0 uses the UV erasable 27c1024.
I don't remember whether other types of EPROM, especially EE ones will fit.
the programmer you mentioned in your email to me seems OK.

yes, you are right.

Hi all,
I am taking the decision to abandon at all Atari format partition on my
Q60/Q40. I never had a special passion for mkpart/drvchk/drvlnk because
I never fully understand the logic behind and this is my limit obviously .
