![]() ![]() I haven't tried DD or ED, because my old disks are all DD and Tretroid QubATA as I understand only supports 720k. The most difficult is the iomega, as the device driver is not recognised at plug-in, but if you pick NEC Systems USB Floppy driver from the Win10 list, it works fine (I found I had to unplug and re-plugin once though after driver update). The easiest to get seem to be the UF0002 for EUR 10 on eBay. They all work fine with QPC and can format via DOS format /t:80 /n:9 followed by QPC format flp QL (+Tertroid QubATA) read/writable disks. After a couple of hours on eBay I ended up with the following So Ralfs point is spot on, because the NEC-based drives do support 720k/DD. BTW: I'm afraid, I'm also the only user, who has uQLx running on Windows 10 with the Windows included WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).Ĭode: Select all C:\Users\olifi>format a: /t:80 /n:9 uQLx does not seem to support floppy disks directly, I'm afraid (only disk images seem to be supported). Problem is, that it seems, I am the only one with a Windows 10 and native disk drives (USB-drive are working absolutely perfect with HD and DD). Vous avez un lecteur de Disquette Iomega USB (X1DE-USB), et son installation sous windows est impossible car Windows Update et le constructeur Iomega ne fournissent plus de support de drivers pour ce matériel. Afterwards formatted it with QPC2 (result: 2880/2880), but I could NOT copy anything to the disk, it has been always copied to WIN1_ with strange filenames (e.g.: WIN1_subdir_FLP1_filename). the disk is read and writeable with my drive. I have formatted a HD floppy on windows (copied a file to it, made a DIR command (OK), and deleted the file. Most probably only Marcel is able to help. Former (Windows) versions didn't even support native floppies (only USB floppies where working). It seems, it is not possible to access the native floppy drives (those connected to the 34 pin Shugart bus of the mainboard) on Windows 10 (v1803). From Duncan's experience, it's obvious that even those tips aren't the answer to all the have now tried nearly anything. Looks like all we can do is to follow the suggestions of RWAP and I as regards formatting, to try them out - the FORMAT command from DOS and the use of *D to "force" DD formatting. Reading online forums, it seems that the whole topic of floppy disks is hit and miss even for PC users. My experience has always been that from Windows 7 onward it was very hit and miss. It looks like RWAP and I have been lucky that we can use QDOS DD disks to various extents on our PC systems. I still have a lot of old program disks on DD disks which I occasionally need to access, even though most have over time been copied over to other media. I also still get sent DD disks in the post occasionally from people who want a copy of something on my website but haven't the experience/confidence/tools to download, transfer to QL, unzip etc. The reason why I want to be able to use DD disks is that one of my QL systems only has DD disk drives and an old disk interface which does not support DD disk drives. ![]()
