An extremely fast way to transfer stuff from and to a Q60 Linux and a PC doesn't necessarily involve setting up a network with Linux on the PC side. All you need is TCP/IP, two network cards and an FTP server in either side :-) Q60 Linux has one and you can get one easily on PC by downloading Xitami (www.imatix.com) . You setup your FTP server, dump all your files into its /pub directory, log on from Linux (after you assign to both ends a 192.168.xxx.yyy number) or the other way round and start uploading (or downloading) stuff at (almost) 10 Mbps :-) You're set... Additionally since you now have CF capability, you format a CF on the Q60 with SMSQ/E and then using M-Tools you access it directly either from QPC2 or PC (Versions exist for QDOS, DOS and UN*X) I hope I helped :-) Phoebus P.S. If I understood correctly you tried to use an ED floppy with the Q60? IIRC it doesn't work with at least the IDE adaptors that come with Qx0s... Also if my memory doesn't fail me ISA ED adaptors were scarce and extremely expensive and also were ROM equipped to handle the ED format (2.88 on PCs)... which would make them unusable. I remember when I still had my full Aurora/SGC setup with ED drives, I tried to use them on a 486 but no joy :-(
