I've certainly seen QL setups with a 5.25" in the mix and had wondered if it was just a personal choice for data storage over the original mdvs, or whether there had ever been anything commercial. The 3.5" was certainly becoming more dominant at about the same time as many QL owners were probably considering an FDD upgrade.dilwyn wrote: Yes, in the 1980s at least.
My first floppy disk drive was a 5.25 inch unit (switchable 40/80 track unit IIRC), which got shared between a QL and a BBC Micro.
Eidersoft was one example who supplied software on 5.25". QJump was another.
Digital Precision supplied a few programs on 5.25inch for me, although I'm not sure if that was routine or just a favour to me as I was a regular customer and knew him back then.
Right, new collecting goal then, is to find something that was retailed for the QL on 5.25"
