Yes, I read Tobias but spent some time to understand how to do it...but actually it was the right suggestion because finally i made it work. ...

Re: Microperipherals Floppy Interface R/W

Fortunately I was able to format/R/W some DD's and have them compatible with QPC2 and Qemulator in both R/W, so yes, even if they're labeled as FDK, they're compatible. In the MicroP board they also added a VSET command which can change the names of FDK's as FLP's to make the Read compatible too for...

Re: Microperipherals Floppy Interface R/W

Ok, so, if i use QPC2: - i download quill235f.zip (quill 2.35 for floppy) and unzip541_bas from dilwyn website, and create a Quill directory which i attach to DOS8 virtual drive on QPC2 - i load dos8_unzip541_bas and run it. QPC2 tells: 'Original filename was ram1_unzip541 - Save as filename >' and ...
