Re: PiStorm
My point is that MC68 CPUs arent being produced any more and as things look now, will forever be stuck at 60 to 80 MHz and be as rare as hen's teeth and cost too much. But say some chip manufacturer came up with a brand new, low-powered, 100% compatible MC68020 clone running at 300MHz for $20 apiece...

Blessed are the nay-sayers for the future is theirs! (Or is it?)
In the mean time we wait for some test results from Derek. See where we go from there..

Re: PiStorm
Theres also been some movement on the Buffee side recently. (The main developer has been unwell for some time, hence the hiatus.) While I dont claim to understand all the ins and out of the matter (Im sure there are plenty here who can disabuse me), to me the Buffee sounds like the more interesting ...

Where is the best place to catch up on the Italian QL scene? I can read Italian quite well, (but speak/write it poorly). It would be nice to find out what is going on over there.

The operating system source code for Minerva and SMSQ/E give very good reference material on how assembly language on the QL should be written.

Re: Run a SuperBasic program from Assembler?
Anyone with a PC can have SMSQ/E for free if they want. If one started out with Qdos nomenclature and at some later date wanted to develop programs for SMSQ/E one would have to relearn the entire nomenclature. Not so the other way round; SMSQ/E nomenclature works perfectly for Qdos too. And the most...

<>I can see what you mean about the missing byte to force the next line onto a word boundary, so have done that to be safe But the GST QMAC manual I have seems to say it automatically adjusts and puts DC.W/DC.L onto word boundaries, which is why I assume my code worked as is?

I was altogether intrigued by the exercise so here's my take: ; TITLE Show Menu section code INCLUDE 'win6_a_qmac_qdos1_in' INCLUD...
