HI,

OK, got it now, I must say the documentation is a little sketchy.

Can a DEVICE be setup as a BDI file?


Regards,

Derek

No, the devices setup by device= are emulated.

Hi,

The command:

BDI1 = QL_BDI.BIN

loads the BDI file as stated in the manual and in this thread.

Can the location of the BDI file be specified so that maybe a mounted SD Card or Compact Flash could be used, giving a process of of updating a BBQL QubIDE interface with SD Card or Compact Flash.

Code: Select all

Should be fully function, you can put any valid linux path in there (not so sure about windows paths).

I assume no-one is trying to run the x86_64 (64bit) version of sQLux on Windows XP 64bit?

If that's of any help, I'm running it on 64bit MacOS
file ./sqlux
./sqlux: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

It’s main development is a m1 cpu.

It’s more implementing that q68 timer makes it incompatible with Windows XP. So I’ll probably disable what on win32 but enable it on win64 and people will need to use win7 or later.

Hi,

I tried using Windows 10 last week instead of Linux, and it looked really bad, so bad to Linux Mint 19.3, at least everything runs on my system that I require.

Derek
