Cumana Floppy Interface and Toolkit

Hello,

Dusting off and using a Cumana floppy interface (v1.46 from 1984) with my QL, it looks as if the interface auto starts a version of Toolkit (QJUMP?) that does not handle sub-directories or RAM disks. Typing TK2_EXT results in a bad command statement. Question: can I simply load TK226 from a floppy to get the Toolkit II features I’m hoping to have, using the statement 100 base=RESPR(16384):LBYTES FLP1_Tk2_Ext,base:CALL base? Or will doing so result in some sort of incompatibility with the version of toolkit embedded in the Cumana interface?

Thanks, Tom

You may need to enter FLP_EXT to enable the QJUMP extensions built into the interface.

Loading and starting Toolkit II as you state, can also be used instead without any issue.
