# QXL In Command

The QXL uses the PC’s hard disk by formatting a segment of it for its own use. The segment can be 1 up to 66 Mbytes in size. The QXL manual warns not to go higher then 63 but I (Al) have successfully formatted 66 Mbytes on several computers without any trouble – so far. 67 Mbytes won’t work. The QXL formatted section shows up on the PC directory as QXL.
