    Notes

    1. Compatible machines include the PC 700, PS/1 Aptivas 2xxx series and above and standard PS/2 models. PS/2 models come with PS/2 Slide in locking base
    2. The drives will work with most PCs even if they don't include 2.88Mb controllers. In some instances, it was possible to format 2.88 Mb Diskettes without a special controller present
    3. QL compatible machines are all Gold/Super Gold Card equipped QLs, the Q40 (1.44 Mb only) and Standard 3 1/2" compatible controllers (only using 720K QL5A format)
    4. 720 Kbyte format needs installation of switch on either the cable or the drive. The standard FLP_JIGGLE 1 command is not needed for Sinclair QLs.
    5. 3.2 Mbytes format not possible on PCs (even when equipped with QPC/Q-emuLator). M-Tools and QL-Tools compatibility not yet tested.
