Hi,

The Floppy Disk density commands are:

S = Single Density (360Kb)
D = Double Density (720Kb)
H = High Density (1.44Mb)
E = Extra High Density (3.2Mb) ... only on ED drives with a SuperGold Card

You can use the FLP_DENSITY command to set the floopy disk density, eg

FLP_DENSITY "D"

or

use the FORMAT command to setup the density

FORMAT "FLP1_DISKY1*D"

I found using SMSQ on a QXL, that both had to be setup, I did not use SMSQ/E on the QXL, so hopeful this feature/bug would been fixed.

The screen resolution of QXL is setup in the SMSQ.EXE file using a standard CONFIG blocks, so you have to copy the MSDOS executable to the the QXL side and config it with MENUCONFIG or CONFIG

I used to have one MSDOS executable for each resolution.

Hope this helps.

Okay, this definitely helps - thank you ! :)

I'm still taking notes ... and I should have this "down" soon.

This will definitely give me something to work on ...

Either way, if all goes well with those "disk images", I'll have good news to report. :mrgreen:
