Re: [Ql-Users] Qubide 2 and CDs
Duncan, DiscOVER SHOULD read the MSDOS disk format - it certainly has been able to do so in the past as long as it has been formatted to FAT16 (it will not handle FAT32 or NTFS). How big is the drive you are trying to use - I could probably sort out why DiscOver is not working if I can get an image of the disk. If it is not large it might well compress down to a manageable size.

Use QPC2, it can read / write to any QXL.WIN file. QPC2 is the best Emulator.

Re: [Ql-Users] Qubide 2 and CDs
My question is how to read/write inside the QXL.WIN's I have created on them. Hi Bob, The SBASIC code for reading QXLwin files is in the QCDEZE source which comes with QCDEZE. The base CD reading code could be adapted to read FAT16. Its a piece of work that might be feasable once my present project is finished as I have other SBASIC code that can read write to FAT16. If Discover can be adapted then obviously there is no need to adapt QCDEZE.

Hi Dilwyn, Thierry Godefroys ATAPI CD drivers and QCDEZE should do it. I had an Aurora Qubide system when I wrote it am fairly sure that I tested it on that system as well.
