That works nicely (even if only in monochrome). I used to have an extended MODE 4 emulator in a Mega ST4 and that triggered happy memories... I managed to create a QLWA partition on the hard drive and now the Atari-QL has ample space. Access to QDOS-formatted floppies also works like a charm.
What I have, however, not managed is giving access from SMSQ/E to Atari-native hard disk partitions. The manual says, however,
I found an old QL-Toady article where Jochen Merz described his Atari setup. He seems to simply chant a magic "WIN_DRIVE" onto a GEM partition and, apparently, has access to that Atari drive. That does, however, not work for me. I ploughed a bit through the SMSQ/E sources, could find there is actually a definition for GEM and BIG GEM partition IDs in the keys file, but those seem never to be used anywhere in code.In addition, SMSQ/E comes with inbuilt drivers to recognise TOS harddisk partitions, DOS floppy disks, and TOS floppy disks (DD and HD).
As I apparently can't find any code that accesses Atari-native file systems (I really did not search exhausively, though), I am a bit at loss here. Could it be Atari hard disk partition support has been removed from SMSQ/E at some point in time? Or is this just a big misunderstanding (I don't really think Jochen would have described his setup that never could have worked....(?) Or am I doing something silly?
