Any thoughts on the boot issue? Would I be best making the hxc flp1_? Currently I have two ed floppies flp1_ and flp2_ and the hxc is flp3_ and flp4_. I think I would leave the boot to a "real" floppy. (I haven't got a lot of good reasons why, this is just what I've done with my SGC QL). ...

... forgot to ask if it would be possible to place the MiST Board into the original QL case? A single-glance, rough check says: Should fit. But: The microdrives are mapped to the SD-Card slot, keyboard and mouse are USB, all the connectors would be in the wrong places and need re-wiring. (And the Q...

I tend to move them around interactively with the mouse using the WMOV command. (That's part of EasyPtr, if I remember right)

Peter,

I don't (unfortunately) have an Aurora, so don't know from own experience, but

with one of the later PEs you should be able to use GD2.

I guess the obvious question now is can it be upgraded to 68020 and support the extended screen modes from Q40/Q60 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q40_(motherboard) so that it can run smsq/e as well as classic QDOS? I can't remember what network card was demoed at QLis30 but an emulation of one of th...

Hi, I have not used this type of system before, can different Cores be easily loaded? Definitely. <F12> from the keyboard or a button press on the MiST front panel enter a menu system that allows selection of the cores on the SD card. A few seconds later you have an Amstrad CPC or Atari in front of...

....shall have to remember that trick. No, you shouldn't ;) You should instead remember that you should never un-zip a zip file intended for the QL anywhere else but on the QL - or emulator. In this case you will never again lose a file header in transit. Explanation on that is on Dillwyn's web sit...

I don't think anyone has done that, Derek.

Jose Leandro has picked up the abandoned project from that website and modified it.

Ralf, why don't you write it yourself? You need: - EasyPtr - Turbo - Turbo Toolkit Write a small program that does a RDPT in a tight loop (on #0, for example, with a termination vector of 8 for "Mouse moved"). In that loop, check whether the mouse moved left more than a certain threshold, ...
