The Sinclair QL Forum

Hi,

I wish they had written a dirctory device driver like the Q68, which can access FAT16 partitions with a standard QL device.

SUB device driver is one of the most ...

Derek,

This looks ideal and I am definitely interested. It looks as if the vdrive plugs into the port on the right of the ql and the sd card in that new slot will now act as a virtual microdrive - is that correct? Please forgive my ignorance.

Lastly, I'm not sure what the vmap does. Does that go ...
