Description

New: Now purchase a vDriveQL along with a CASE*!

*Note the case is 3D printed and although the visible surface finish has been optimised there are still some minor surface imperfections due to the printing process.

Introducing the vDrive^QL...

Delivers hardware emulation for up to eight Microdrives and includes a comprehensive toolkit for managing Microdrive cartridge images which are stored on SD Card. The vDrive^QL simply connects to your QL’s external Microdrive bus and is accessed with the usual Microdrive commands. An existing Microdrive case is used to house the vDrive^QL(Note that the QL shown in the gallery images is not included).

The SD Card file system implementation is DOS based and is compatible with systems which can read or write to FAT16 or FAT32 media. The vDrive^QL has been tested with SD Cards having a capacity of up to 32GB.

The vDrive^QL adopts the MDV image format. This format is supported by emulators such as Q-emulator and QLAY. In general, images created with these emulators will be compatible with the vDrive^QL and vice versa. MDV images can be formatted, saved to, read from and erased by standard QL commands on real QL hardware.

Other formats, such as the mDump archive format, and MDI, are also supported. They are automatically converted to MDV format prior to assigning to a vDrive.

As well as the standard 128K QL hardware with either the JM, JS or Minerva 1.97/1.98 ROM, the vDrive^QL has also been tested on the following:

Miracle Systems Gold Card (including Tetroid's clone)

Miracle Systems Super Gold Card (including Tetroid's clone)

512K memory expansion cards

QL Trump Card (including clones)

vMap^QL Microdrive Address Translator

Any combination of system firmware and peripherals listed above are supported. It is likely that many other peripheral cards will also be compatible but these haven’t been tested. The toolkit is compatible with Toolkit II and both extensions can be resident at the same time.
