Amiga 1241 Q Drive
Hi
Went onto the forums today and was pleasantly surprised with the help I
got trying to get an Amiga 1241 Q Drive working. This unit gives me a CD
drive in my main room up here for the Amiga following the loss of the
Power Computing CD a month ago. They pointed me at the Amiga Resources
site and the downloads there of the needed disks.

I retrieved both the install and boot from the Amiga resources site and
installed the software. I am OS3.0 so its quite a harmless if it mucks
up the OS The device is a cd.device and L holds the QDriveFileSystem.
Unit is 2. The old file system was CDFileSystem.
At first the drive wouldn't work and then I found a rogue CC0 in the
devs drawer that was causing the problem. Once removed the drive booted
no problem.
Seems to be working. I have been checking through some old Aminet disks
and the drive is finding everything. Very quiet little unit. Been
sitting around cus I couldn't establish what power supply is needed.
Someone just created a website and featured the drive [ all in German ]
but gave the power supply details. The Big Book only has the Squirrel
connector it doesn't show the drive.
