Re: Quill from Gilsoft
Hi,
I am only stating what is available now.
The Next QL core on my KS2 Next, does not have a directory device driver to access the FAT32 SD Card parition. I have to use the executable files: SDIR to list the files on the FAT32 partition and SCOPY to transfer files to/from QLWA file.
Maybe the KS3 Next QL core will address this, I have pledged support for a Magenta Next.
The Q68 has a directory device driver FATx to access a FAT16 parition x on the SD Card. I can not store files on the Q68 FAT32 partitions, except in a QLWA file.
On both systems, the QL executable files canot be stored natively, and need a container or archive file to store them. Which fir me, this seems to be not a problem. I store FLP images on the Q68 FAT16 partition and use FDI to access the files. Can not do this on the Next or XberryPi.
When can I expect a FAT32 QDOS directory device driver to work on any QL system?

You could have had one years ago if QDOS had any support for C device drivers!

I have tried, but have not produced anything usable.
What is C device drivers?
