Re: QXL SMSQ/E Version

Hi,

Thanks for the help, I think there is problems with the QXL board, using SMSQ/E v3.38 starts up okay, but keyboard is not working.

There must be something wrong with the QXL Card.

Strange that v3.05 works perfectly.

QXL SMSQ/E Version

Hi

I may of asked this before, but I have a QXL 2 running at 25Mhz which works well with SMSQ v2.76 and SMSQ/E v3.05

If I use any version of SMSQ/E above v3.05 the keyboard does not work.

Can anybody with a QXL confirm if the lastest version of SMSQ/E works with the QXL?

Re: New Q68 Case

Hi Martin, I am just trying accommodate the suppose Disk Drive expansion card. Since I have had no information about this, I will put this to one side. I personally would keep the current configuation with a large case, the QL Net and I2C on top, on the Rear End Plates. In the current case the QL Ne...

Re: New Q68 Case

Hi, With regards to connections like Power Input could placed at the back, but the Audio Out, which connects to a amplified speakers or headphones, would this not be better at the front.

Re: New Q68 Case

Hi Thanks for the input, I am trying to accommodate a hardware developer, who says there is a expansion for the Q68, that just needs a driver written. I did think sbout the Audio and Power connections at the back, but would that mean more space at the front. Maybe a LCD Display or something else ...

Re: Advanced QL User Guide

Derek, even if you do not get permission to release your revised version, would you be willing to publish the errata/corrections so that we can update our print copies? That would be had, as I did not keep a log of the changes. Do not worry, if there is a negative reaction to my release of Copyrigh...

Re: Advanced QL User Guide

Hi, I have been looking at the books on WOS, they have done a good job in scanning and indexing them, pity there was not much attention paid to the quality of the scans. All the books are PDF image files, no text layer on in the PDF file, some books are scanned with 2 pages per page, the black edges...

Re: New Q68 Case

Hi Dave, The cases have slots to support the Q68 PCB, which in the current case the Q68 is in the bottom slot. I can change the location of the Q68 board to suit. If an expansion board is located in the bottom slot and the Q68 above the expansion board, how much head room for the expansion board is ...
