The Sinclair QL Forum

Hi Bill! The fact that you can 'see' the 'VTKQL109' medium listed suggests that the vDrive is being correctly accessed - but as yet, does not recognise the SD Card. If I recall correctly from the vDrive documentation and my own experience, vDrive will present a 'pseudo' MDV image containing only a b...

Hi Bill!

Yes, the SGC comes with a modern RAM disk driver in the on-board ROM.

I will be posting some guidance plus photos from m...
