RE: [ql-users] QPC and Knightsafe/HD disks

As far as I know SMSQ/E does support ED drives if present, at least mine. Real matter is to find PC with such drives : I never saw one ! I think only IBM ones were shipped with this drives. I think this is a reason why disks were so hard to find ... and expensives. A pity because there was no

Now stop this.. I have recently entered the QL world. I bough myself a Q40 because I felt that a native QL clone is what I needed. I dont have a pc to run QPC2 , and from my perspective, its more fun to develop operating system with real hardware then a emulator. If I disagree with someone on

I am surprised because the same Z88 - QL transfer worked also very well for me, at 9600 baud. However IIRC the speed was not about 960 cps, it was very much less than this, so maybe the Z88 is slow enough for the QL? However I did my cable by myself and don't remember exactly the wiring. Arnould

For me the reference in my hobby is not Q40/60 or QPC, it is QDOS/SMSQ and the man who developped QDOS/SMSQ who is neither Claus or Marcel or Peter. And this man decided that both QPC and Q40 were good enough platforms for his life's work. Hence I have no preference between Q4P0C either. And wish
