Re: QL-SD driver 1.10
Q40/Q60 Linux can also deal with byteswapped filesystems, not that this would be of much help.
Personally I think byteswapped images should be corrected, not used. But given the practical reality this is a good QPC feature.

Re: QL-SD driver 1.10
I am a little confused, the QUBide files from my QL-SD Interface, are read/write on Q68 using the QUB device, the BDI driver in Q-emulator and sqlux read the same file.XorA wrote:Nope, I implemented byte swapping in sQLux years ago.mk79 wrote:Ummm, no.

I probably do not know if bytes are flipped.

Re: QL-SD driver 1.10
Oh, I remember what happened, the BDI version of the QL-SD driver would not read any of the test QUBIDE files I had so i parked the code in a branch to investigate later. And later still has not occurred (and branch is on a machine that is no more).mk79 wrote:XorA wrote:B*ll*cjs and never pushed that code

Re: QL-SD driver 1.10
IIRC the BDI driver checks some bit in the master block to see if it's an IDE or SD image or some such and rejects the normal QubIDE images based on that.XorA wrote:Oh, I remember what happened, the BDI version of the QL-SD driver would not read any of the test QUBIDE files I had so i parked the code in a branch to investigate later.

Re: QL-SD driver 1.10
None of those are IDE devices, so no byte swapping is happening. You get that for example if you try to read a native QubIDE partition on a PC.Derek_Stewart wrote:I am a little confused, the QUBide files from my QL-SD Interface, are read/write on Q68 using the QUB device, the BDI driver in Q-emulator and sqlux read the same file.XorA wrote:Nope, I implemented byte swapping in sQLux years ago.mk79 wrote:Ummm, no.

Re: QL-SD driver 1.10
Which raises the question: what would it take to have QubIDE be able to use the same .WIN files as QL-SD and everything else?
