vDrive Psion Programs For QL
vDrive Psion Programs For QL
Thanks to Rich Mellor, I’ve added vDrive QL versions of the Psion quartet for QL – version 2.35 of Abacus, Archive, Easel and Quill.
These are available to download as four “.MDV” files of 160KB each for use with the vDrive.
Download them from http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/index.html
The vDrive is an add-on interface from Charlie Ingley, which emulates up to 8 microdrives stored as images on an SD card. Further details on the vDrive for QL available at https://vdrivezx.com/vdriveql/

You beat me to it!
Thats exactly one of the reasons I bought the VdriveQL

Re: vDrive Psion Programs For QL
One of the first things I did with my vDrive QL was to set up three banks for the Psion programs to auto boot and have common areas for saving data. It worked like a charm.
I am really glad I bought this device (think I have two QL versions and a Spectrum version) love the gay they just work.

you're not supposed to point out typos. Well not mine any way.
I make far too many to have each one highlighted.

Re: vDrive Psion Programs For QL
Hi.
The porting programs are still using MDV1... vDrive is MDV3.
The psion configuration programma do not allow setting MDV3.
The 4 psion applications do not start ...
Where I am doing wrong?

Re: vDrive Psion Programs For QL
Remember, that not everyone will be using the vDrive as mdv3_ so whatever changes were made, the boot file would never be correct!
Use vMap (if you have it) to configure the vDrive to be mdv1_, the internal drives as mdv2_ and mdv3_
That is how I use my setup here so that programs load directly from the vDrive.
Otherwise you have to edit the boot files in the Psion microdrive images to change references from mdv1_ to mdv3_ - the help will still look to load from mdv1_ however, unless you edit the executable files (quill, archive etc) to change references from mdv1_ to mdv3_
The Psion configuration program never envisaged that you would want to run their programs from anything but mdv1_

Genetika,
The vMap is a great addition to the vDriveQL. Worth it's weight in gold (IMHO)
