His settings are terrible, especially as the WIN8 configuration mechanism won't even work on some cards with the "fast" setting.
Also the french keyboard is super weird to get reconfiguration started.
And the local menuconfig_inf file is useless since his default container name differs from the standard.

But after all, Wolfgang has done so much work for the Q68, we have to allow him some "specialties" ;)
Yes I totally agree with you, my comments are not a criticism, just an observation.

The boot program I install on new Q68 computers boots to a stanard QL Mode 4 screen, and merely tells the user of all the screen modes and lists sample boot files I have written to try demonstrate how to write a boot file.

Of course the user is free to delete my attempts at boot file writing and write their boot file.


Regards,

Derek
