Power Computing XLDrive software - where?

shirsch · 27 May 2007, 17:02

Can anyone point me to a source for the Ver 1.4 XL Drive install disk for Power Computing HD diskette drive? I found one at a swap meet with the Ver 1.32 installer, but there seems to have been a later version somewhere.

Apologies for the duplicate! The board threw back an odd error after the first attempt and I thought it had gone astray.

Moderator: Please delete this duplicate? Thanks.

Ahh, I'm looking for this too ... Actually if you could do an adf of that 1.32 driver for me I'll be really grateful as I don't have any driver :*(

As dictated by Murphy's Law, I tripped over the v1.4 installer minutes after placing my post. I'd be glad to make both images available, but I'm not sure how to do so without running afoul of the EAB rules.

I don't think this is sold anywhere, and since it's a driver, and useless without the PowerXL hardware I don't think any harm could come if you just zone it. I would appreciate if any mod could enlighten us on this.

I have placed DMS images of both versions in The Zone. A warning: Neither of them is smart enough to be aware of whether the other has already been installed. If you move from 1.32 to 1.4, be sure to remove the line in c:user-start that pulls in the highdensity driver.

I'm successfully reading and writing 1.76M Amiga format and 1.44M MS-DOS diskettes.
