It can be thought of as a small portable hard disk without moving parts, which reads at some 2MB a second. The device offers enough capacity to allow an expanded QL to boot up SMSQ/E and all drivers and boot programs from flash memory instead of needing a hard disk. Costs from £39 for the 2MB version, to £98 for the 8MB version. Romdisq was designed by Tony Firshman and Stuart Honeyball of [[qlwiki:Miracle Systems]], with device drivers written by [[qlwiki:Tony Tebby]]. It uses the device name "ROM" so you can save a program to "ROM1_" for example, like you would save to "FLP1_" or "MDV1_" The device needs expanded memory on the QL to work (min 256K). ---- {{qlwiki:romdisq.jpg?direct&240x159 |TFS Romdisq Flash Memory}} Title: **ROMDisq**\\ Interface Type: Flash EPROM Storage Device\\ Connection: QL ROM Port\\ Through-Connector: No\\ Manufacturer: [[qlwiki:TF Services]]\\ Year First Sold: Unknown\\ Original Price: £39 (2MB Version) to £98 (8MB Version)\\ Download Manual: [[http://www.dilwyn.qlforum.co.uk/docs/manuals/romdisq.zip|ROMDisq Manual]]\\ Accompanying Software: [[http://www.dilwyn.qlforum.co.uk/docs/manuals/romd214.zip|Latest ROMDisq Driver]]\\ qlwiki/romdisq.txt Last modified: 2023/08/25 12:22by 127.0.0.1
