Awesome! Maybe you should contact Strand Games. Stefan who did the ZX Spectrum Next version, got their official (remixed) graphics and now they sell it along their other official offerings! I'm in contact with Stefan already. We will probably put the final version and the source code onto the Magne...

Have you removed and re-seated the chips as said above?

F So - Simply replace "FEX" with "FI2_CALL" in the DiskMate source code and you should be set, and DiskMate should be working with newer SMSQ/E versions. Tobias I doubt this will work. DM5 expects the name FEX and will not react to FI2_CALL. For that DM5 will need to be edited a...

From the FileInfo 2 Manual: The FEX procedure is the exact equivalent of FI2_CALL and FEX_W is equivalent to FI2_CALL with the bit 31 of the key set. FEX and FEX_W are kept for upward compatibility with older FileInfo things only; these procedures should not be used any more in modern programs as th...

Any error related to "FEX" might not necessarily be QLiberator's fault.
FEX is known to be an ambiguous keyword, occuring both in some versions of SMSQ/E and FileInfo 2. This should be fixed by today, but your error might still be a remnant of that name clash.

44V VPP measured with a scope is about 15.5V RMS - So, fine. Typically, voltages will go down a bit anyways under load. The 10.8 Volts also look OK. You really need to have a look inside. First thing to check is IC sockets - contact between sockets and ICs gets worse because of time and corrosion - ...

As one of VP's testers I can only consent to the above.

Too bad he never fixed the account number on the initial screen. No wonder I did never receive the three bounties set out there.

Thanks Tobias and Urs! I would just connect an original keyboard membrane for testing, but one connector is missing on the m/b and it's a bloody big tangle of cables, drives and things inside, so would require quite a bit of time to solder a new connector on. Be aware that when the interface is plu...

Hi Chris,

this is an ABC-Keyboard Interface. The UR initials stand for Ulrich Rosowski, I believe. Manual is here.

I used to have one years ago and I am almost sure it wants to see an XT type keyboard (and the above manual seems to confirm that).

Merry Christmas!
Tobias
