Disk images with QPC2

Post by dden »

I'm trying to set a disk image file as a floppy disk drive in QPC2 but can't get the FLP_DRIVE command to work.
It's a 720K image file.
FLP_DRIVE "C:\TEST.IMG"

Anyone any ideas?

Add a floppy drive number, e.g. FLP_DRIVE 1,"C:\TEST.IMG". QPC2 can have more than one floppy drive such as A: and B: so you may need to specify which drive.

Thank you. I eventually found the information in the QPC2 manual (RTM?)

You can check which drive or image is assigned with PRINT FLP_DRIVE$(n) as well.
