Re: Some questions on the modern QL add ons
Hi,
Since the Q68 does not have a MDV device driver, my solution was to use MDI, which is not compatible with the VDriveQL MDV format.
There are 2 options, use MDI: CONVERT2_MDI or vDriveQL: LD commands, which convert to the native format.
Pity the MDV format was not like the FLP image format as, FDI FLP images are readable on Qemulator, QOC2, SMSQmulator, but not vDriveQL.... Which is reasonable as the vDrive is emualting a Microdrive not a Floppy Disk drive.
Could the MDI format be made compatible with the vDrive format, I wonder...
