They are qubide format files, basically the format of the CF card on a qubide in file form, the documentation is in the qubide source code.
I started on a set of tools to manipulate the files like qltools does with floppies.

But the chances of me ever finishing are low

It can currently list and extract files from an image.
I think I may have slightly more work on my machine where functionality for write is started but not finished.

The public release of the sources is coming as soon as time allows. I wanted to do some cleanups and minor improvements first, and of course add the licensing texts for the GPL, but never found time in the last few mounts. Tofro has kindly offered help, so I guess it won't take very long now.
If it is urgent, please contact me privately.

I tried to build a rather standard ROM port dongle for my QL (and knowing so little about hw design, it's been quite an adventure), but then I came to realize that the 16k slot is taken by the QL-SD. Does it eat all of it or is there some small address range that could still be used separately?

No, it eats all of it (and that's barely enough).

That's what I started realizing when trying to find a suitable opening there. Going for the expansion connector seems a bit overwhelming for a long-time software guy. Those DTACKs and timings and all, geez...

Any progress on the source release.....I'd like to try porting this to some self designed hardware....
Cheers.
