The Sinclair QL Forum

Source?

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?

When can I expect a FAT32 QDOS directory device driver to work on any QL system?

When someone writes one!

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

my problem is, I do not have the programming skills, to accomplish this task.

I have tried, but have not produced anything usable.

What is C device drivers?
