state.
and indeed mkEYB has this wrong (for whatever reason).

works with it up to maximum capacity of (2^32 * sectorsize) which is usually
2TB.

yes (if you had any idea what you are doing). But definitively not with QMODEM.

at least on my Dell notebook there is no such *setting*.
instead I have to hit F12 while booting, this then sends me to a "select boot

where I can tell it to boot from USB

17 matches
