# Using My ED Disk Drives

When the Miracle in Newport II was announced, I decided to go all out and upgrade my QL system. Part of my rationale was to be able to use an MS-DOS emulator allowing me to bring work home from the office. In the past, this was a painful endeavor. It was very cumbersome making ASCII Files and then transferring them to/from QDOS format.
