For anyone who is following this project:
Build 009 of the driver was completed and tested today. This fully implements the io.formt trap, meaning that you can now issue the command: FORMAT USB1_ Note: The Ser-USB format routine is much simpler than the QUBIDE original; it only prompts the user for a total size in Megabytes and the block size and then does the rest for you. If the combination of total size and block size would result in a partition with more than 65536 blocks, the user is advised and asked to select a larger block size and/or smaller partition size. Formatting is also a background process, meaning that in an S*BASIC session the FORMAT command completes almost immediately, leaving the drive is formatted in the background. As Ser-USB doesn't do low-level formatting the process is as quick as the time it takes to write a new Map and root directory. Adrian (ps Geoff W. - perhaps you could add a footnote to my QL Today article to reflect this latest news. Thanks.) _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
