Mac <--> QL <--> PC How? Where is the old knowl?

[merlinql]

This used to be done, without some modern developments. This used to be possible with (only) floppies, though that imposes size limits

Eg only the old, old PC has certain abilities ... just ... makes implications; keeping length here down. Thanks all.

So good to be back on QL Forum.

Doug,

Glad to have you back QLing. As for floppy transfers, there is a number of tools on Dilwyn's website under the "File Transfer" link. Here are some examples:

QL Disk Reader - a DOS program which can read files from a QL floppy disk. A formerly commercial program from Utility Room. (10K) [19/04/10]

qlibm.zip QLIBM is a program for reading IBM format disks on a QL (Wolfgang Lenerz) (27K) [28/12/06]

multidos_e.zip MultiDOS is a program to transfer files between MSDOS, TOS and QDOS disks. This is the English version. Requires the modified QLiberator compiler runtimes available from the Toolkits page. (Thierry Godefroy) (32K) [07/02/06]

Under the "File Handling" section:

mtoolsql38a.zip - Mtools for QL is a QL port of a Unix utility to handle MSDOS disks from a QL (J. Hudson) (501K) [08/07/05]

Back in the day I used to use mtools for transferring files.
