QL-SD (and in fact QubIDE cards) Filesystems

Well actually the format for these is pretty easy, espcially as we have the source

So borrowed some code from qltools and we have sane directory listing working.

Code: Select all

./qubide -b QL_BDI.BIN -d
QL-SD     
16413/16506 blocks.

And next stage evolves, it can now extract files

Code: Select all

./qubide -b QL_BDI.BIN -n BOOT

180 REMark LRESPR HOT_REXT
190 PRINT PEEK_L(163872)/1024-128;" KB RAM"

Hello

I would like to ask:

if I understand your message, you have modified the qltools ( for PC) to "understand" a native QL-SD / QuIbDE format. Right? With real Ql or with emulator?

If answer is yes. Will you put those qltools somewhere?

I'm looking for software to exchange information between QL+QuBIDE and PC

Thank

José Leandro

It is not a qltools modified it is mostly new software with a couple of functions lifted from qltools.

I'm afraid I have been ill with flu the last couple of weeks so progress has pretty much stopped. I do intend the release the source when file writing is fixed.

If this utility is useful to QubIDE owners, would you mind if we included it with the software on UltimIDE?
