- CREATING THE QDOS SUPPORT DISK
-
- Creating the QDOS support disk on an Amiga requires that the xfs
- filesystem is mounted. XFS allows access to a multitude of disk
- formats including QL (QDOS) disks. XFS is can be found on the aminet
- in disk/misc.
-
- The support disk can be created from a CLI as follows:
-
- 1. Make sure that the xfs filesystem is mounted.
-
- 2. copy QDOS4amiga3.lha somewhere convenient (RAM: for example)
-
- 3. Insert a blank disk into DF0:
-
- 4. From a CLI type:
-
- QLFormat -u0 -mQLutils -a
- DiskChange FD0:
- LHA -m -a x RAM:QDOS4amiga3.lha FD0:
-
- The QLFormat command can be found in the C directory of the first
- Amiga-QDOS archive (QDOS4amiga1.lha)
