Re: [ql-users] QPC2 CD player
Not too important, but if you do happen to find out please let me know, it's the kind of thing that will bug me as I can't sort it out due to having only 1 drive.

[ql-users] QPC2 CD player
Rather than pester a very busy Marcel with a trivial problem, does anyone know if the QPC2 CD Player could either play 2 separate CDs from 2 separate drives at the same time, or a CD and and image on hard disk somewhere?

No, there's no way to select the drive. I did the specification when even double speed drives were still pretty expensive things!

There's some pretty specialised PC software available for this purpose that would be hard to beat ;-) Marcel ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
