Qnet BBQL connecting to QXLII, probs

[Chr$]

Hello.

I've moved my BBQL (Minerva and TK2) to the same room as the QXLII and am trying to get them to talk to each other over a QNET for the first time. The QXLII has a very basic QDOS QXL.WIN setup at the moment with just PE, QPAC2 and some other 'common' add-ons. The BBQL has a similar setup.

On the QXLII I enter 'net 1', then 'FSERVE' (or the other way round, both result in the same failure).

The BBQL I assign as 'net 2'.

And then I try to get a directory of the other machine by, e.g. 'dir n1_win1_' from net 2.

It thinks about it for less than a second and then reports 'net aborted' and on the line under that 'incomplete'.

Have I forgotten something important? I did have previous success with QNET between a BBQL and my custom cased QL with GC (and I'm using the same mono 3.5mm jack plug cable, so I know the that is good).

Does the QL have TK2 in ROM? Otherwise it won't be able to talk to a file server.

Yes, via it's TDI card (loaded via TK2_EXT in the boot file).

Fixed it! Feel foolish yet again... I cleaned the QXLII QNET sockets with ISO and a stripped down cotton bud, all good now.
