There's a confusion between sector and cluster here.
ED disks really _are_ 36 physical sectors per track. That's in the IBM spec.
They should only format to 5760 physical sectors, but possibly Miracle
formatted tracks beyond 80 to get the extra capacity; 88 tracks would get
6336, which is close

Hi Rich,
this is from my old qformat utility which quickly reformats a disc by
writing a blank map to the disc. The following is the ED details:

Ah, so that means the Gold Card was setting the controller to use 2048 byte
sectors, so my previous comments about clusters are not valid. No wonder the
disks were never compatible with the PC :)
Thanks for that information, Norman. Very helpful and that should solve
Rich's problem at a stroke.

Evening Bryan,
Thanks for the help. There is a devices button at the top of VMware
whereby the floppy can be connected to VMware or connected to the host.
Is that effectively what is meant? When connected to the guest, it
doesn't appear on the computer Vista devices screen.
This sounds
Evening Rich,
OK, so that appears to give an updated program:
I think that will indeed work.
By the way, my Wiki has full (I hope) details of the QL5A and QL5B
