Re: [ql-users] PC to QL transfer
I found on my disks extension called atDOS_cde (hope it's correct), which adds superbasic keywords to read write Atari ST, MS DOS disks. There are commands like ICOPY, ADIR... etc. Handy! Jan ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Re: [ql-users] PC to QL transfer
That is the first time I have heard of a PC only accepting HD disks? HD drives should be backwards compatible with DD disks. Maybe I should put up a QDOS HD floppy image as well as the DD one just in case? He is dead right. Qemulator warns about this and none of my machines accept DD disks. Apparently it is an XP issue. XP can access both DD and HD QDOS floppy disks: DD disks are only a problem with Win98 (and only QDOS DD disks.. PC DD disks work fine). And on Win98 there is a workaround: configure the floppy disk drive as DD in the machine hardware setup. Daniele ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

There is a little known PE program by Wolfgang Lenerz - QLIBM - which if I remember correctly can handle both DD and HD disks. (Most of the other QL/PC disk transfer utilities cannot.
