This got an error during format (unknown err
Ok, before I do something stupid and accidently format my main HD, can
someone refresh me on getting a second HD going on the Q40. I know to use
MKPART_EXE, but I'm worried that it will default to the main drive and not
the secondary drive and then there goes my data.
I also remember that the

I want to bounce an idea off the collective. I just picked up a Syquest
EZ-Flyer 230 (EIDE) with about a dozen disks. I've already got two IDE
devices on my Q40 (HD and CDROM). I'm thinking about putting in the
Syquest in the Q40 and only hooking it up when I needed it (mostly for backup).
Since I've got my Q40 and my GoldCard QL sitting next to each other, I can
quickly run some tests on what works and does not work between the
two. Can you give a short example that I can quickly compile on both
systems? I think my Qlib is like yours, 3.32, which I think is the latest

For me it's just been too hot to play with the QL. Last few days have been
97, 100, and today it's only about 91. Of course, since it's the 4th, I
get to sweat over a Bar-B-Q

An interesting idea, Norman. There are some pluses and some minuses:

Just to expand on what Nasta said, different drivers (such as

They should know the status. I believe that most of the programs had a
time clause to them and are now owned by the original authors. Now the
problem might be tracking down the auth
