I'm having a strange problem with the gold card. When I format a 1.44 disk ,the format is successful ,but after reading the QL drive says drive do to found (dual drives). The system reads and writes pre-formatted disks from the same drive. I also when format a floppy disk with the qpc with usb drive both QL drives read "garbage"
My Best wishes

Re: Gold Card and Format
Hi,
Maybe the FLP Density is not working correctly.
You can specify the density of the floppy disk with the FLP_DENSITY command or put the density in the format disk filename.
E.g.
High Density
FLP_DENSITY "H"
or
FORMAT "FLP1_DATA*H"
D = Double Density 720K 14400 sectors
H = High Density 1440K 2880 sectors
Check the floppy drive cables and possibly clean Disk reader head in the Disk Drive.
