QL-SD driver 1.10

Post by mk79 »

I released a small bug-fix release of the QL-SD driver. At least users of 1.09 should update: https://www.kilgus.net/2022/01/13/ql-sd-driver-1-10/

Hi Marcel, great. I have updated the driver, everything went well.

By the way, what are the differences between qlsd110.respr.bin and qlsd110.resprWQ.bin?

The WQ version can also handle the old BDI-style images that were used in the old QL-SD drivers.

Hi,

Can this driver read the QubATA image files?


Regards,

Derek

These must probably be byte-switched first, but then yes.

Is there a way of converting the BDI images to the new format?

Cheers.

You can mount both images with QxlwinReader and just copy:

QPC can mount both types (CueShell from the demo disc can copy whole directory and drives in one go). Not tried QxlWinReader, but seeing that it's from Wolfgang it's probably cool, too ;)

Humm perhaps I'm doing something wrong but when I point one of the win devices at my QL_BDI.BIN and start QPC2, accessing the device seems not to produce meaningfull results.
For example doing dir win3_ produces what looks like a superbasic listing, I guess it's reading the sectors where it expects there to be a directory, but there is basic?

Do I have to rename the image?

Cheers.

Phill.

Could it be that you have no proper Qubide image, but something byteswapped by an IDE conversion device? That's the usual mistake people make. 68K Is big-endian, Intel not.
