UQLX with BDI / QL-SD support
Posted: Sun Nov 17, 2013 6:33 pm
I should have eliminated the last remaining bugs today, so UQLX is now
the second QL emulator, after Qemulator, which can handle QL-SD
filesystem images.
I have no idea when Richard will release it. If someone already needs
the feature, please feel free to contact me by personal email.
The trick is that the emulator just implements simple "Block Device
Image" (BDI) support. Which are a few registers, allowing the QL side to
access the image file on the PC. The real driver is then running native.
It is essentially the same driver as the one on the real QL, minus the
FAT32, SDHC and hardware specific portions.
