Re: Q68 direct sector access
Thanks, Derek. Im not doing any more with that program since I have something much better in the pipeline ;) So feel free to do with it as you please. Now for some good news: It was a false alarm I raised! Direct sector access works on Q68 in the same way as on QPC2 and SMSQmulator - ! (At least for...

Re: Q68 direct sector access

Re: Q68 direct sector access
I think there IS direct sector access, its just that I dont understand the partition table (if thats what Im seeing). It may just be FAT32 and available somewhere on the Internet - or even in the SMSQ/Q68 source code. But I have neither the time nor inclination to hack it if there is an easier optio...

Re: Q68 direct sector access
Hi Derek, that seems rather OTT. Use my routine instead of recreating the WIN drive any time you wish to alter the name.
As you say, on Q68 you get to specify a sensible name when you format the disk, however, there is no (easy) way to change that name once its set - for now.

Re: Q68 direct sector access
Thanks, but its getting to the image file that is the problem. I'll check with Wolfgang when he's back. I'm all for QL side programming, but if all you want is to change is the volume name of a few images, why not use the hex editor on a PC? I dont see why Id want to do that considering the routine...

Re: Q68 direct sector access
Im trying to change the internal Qdos name of a QL hard drive. Use a hex editor to change the string at offset 6 in the image file. How does one do direct sector access on a Q68 QLWA virtual disk? It is probably not implemented yet. The best would be to ask Wolfgang on ql-users. Not a hardware issu...

Re: Q68 direct sector access
Moved to Software by order of Peter ;) Hi Per I don't have the answer, but wondered if you were trying to do what I wanted-to recently, i.e. to change the embedded Volume name of a WIN Container file - you'd expect to be able to set the Volume name at point of FORMAT, but you seem only able to set t...
