    At the moment we're going through a transitional period with regard to +3 .DSK images. Many are from unverified sources so to be sure we have the best available images i've began the SDP (Spectrum Disk Preservation) project (www.worldofspectrum.org/sdp/), and the aim is to preserve all +3 disks in the EDSK format.
    Unfortunately EDSK (extended disk format) won't work on ZX32, you'll need to get a copy of the XTI utilities and convert them to Standard DSK. Many disks can be converted and will work in this way, but at the moment I'm using EDSK as produced by CPDRead. Meanwhile you could always use the fantasic ZX SPIN which will load ALL of the EDSK images available at present, there's also x128 and RealSpectrum that they'll work on too but with varied results due to copy protections.

    There should be an SDP update in the near future.

    If you have any physical +3 disks listed on the SDP list, I'd like to hear from you.

    Cheers

    Thanks Andy. I'll have a look to those programs.

    Sorry, I haven't any physical +3 disk, I only have my old ZX48k.

    Cheers from Spain.
