Supports Trumpcard with File System 2 driver HD-Disks?

Post by ql_freak »

My real QL (with desktop housing, external keyboard and hard disk) is deep inside a carton. But I have now found my TrumpCard and have another QL. Does the TrumpCard with EPROM with support for File System 2 (I think it was from Jochen Hassler or Albin Hessler or so) support HD-Disks? I unfortunately cannot remember.

Unfortunately, no - the only disk interfaces which supported HD (or ED) disks were the Gold Card and Super Gold Card.

Jochen Hassler once modified a SuperQBoard to support HD discs and also mentioned that in theory it should be possible to do this with the Trump-Card, too, but that there might be a space problem. Of course this was still at a time where SMD was not so common, but all Trump-Cards in existence are probably still DD only ;-)

This could be a true "deus ex machina" :o
