Floppy Disk Emulator
Further to my Microdrive emulator of a few weeks ago. I have now made a similar driver to emulate Floppy Disk drives as an image file on another device. It is available here http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/utils/FDIDriver_v1_00.zip on Dilwyn Jones web site. It uses standard floppy disk images, and is limite...

Re: 5 1/4 Disk Drives (DD)
I've got a 5.25" disk drive, that I think used to format 360K 5.25" disks to 720K, If that's what you are looking for.
Its only a bare drive, and it's not been used in years, but as far as I know it's OK.
I've also got a bunch of 5.25" disks, if your interested.

Re: Trump Card Level-2 Drivers
I have three likely images, you might like to try. I have emailed them to your websites, sales email address. As I cannot see how to attach them to a Personal Message here. The files are in a WinZip file. And contain - Trump_card1v21A - I think the standard Trump Card S/W FLPlevel2_2v17 - I think th...

Re: Microdrive Emulator
This looks really good, Martin. Is it ready for me to make available via my website (I take it you got my reply to your email a while back, I never got a reply back from you after that). No I didn't get your reply. But my E-Mail did throw a bit of a wobbly the other day, so it may have gone astray....

Re: Microdrive Emulator
Just a thought, but would this work with copy protected microdrives - where there may be a secret number allocated when the microdrive was formatted, or a bad sector in a specific place on the cartridge, or even just a deleted file? Yes. My image files are pretty much exact copies of a microdrive c...

Re: Microdrive Emulator
Only one minor point (as there is no boot file) - the demo programs assume that Toolkit II is enabled - ie they use LRESPR to link in the driver, instead of a=RESPR(4104): LBYTES flp1_MDIDriver_cde,a: CALL a (and at just over 5K, that driver is a great achievement). I can't take all the credit, Mos...

Re: Microdrive Emulator
At the moment I am tinkering with the idea of doing the same sort of thing for floppy disks. For new PC's without floppy disk drives.
But has it already been done?
Would anyone want it?

Microdrive Emulator
I have written a directory device driver to emulate Microdrive cartridges, as files in QPC2 (although it should work in other emulators, or even a real QL?) The driver may be downloaded from here http://www16.zippyshare.com/v/68973691/file.html It has been Zipped with Archivers Control Panel, and it...

Help Wanted
I have been writing a device driver to emulate the Microdrive cartridges as a file in QPC2 (although it should work in other emulators, or even a real QL?), which I 'think' is about ready to release. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to test it, and check my documentation to see if there an...

Re: Directory Driver problem
I think I may have got it. The problem is not with the file being an executable as such, but with it size. I spent the afternoon looking at that QDOS/SMSQ manual. Then finding the code for LBYTES in the ROM. And then trying to trace the code through the ROM. I found the "Invalid Name" erro...
