This blog article on software rescue describes a project which was a direct spin-off from the Wellington meeting last weekend.

Many thanks Mike (acsi)!

thanks for your article, I enjoyed reading this.
I have a couple of QL's with hard disk drives attached to them so I have not need to migrate to floppy drives.
That said, I've not turned them on now for about 8 years so I have no idea what condition everything is in :)

A Ql with a hard drive! Now that's a big step up from microdrives. What is the interface? Are they SCSI drives?
