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?

Latest v3.38 (31/10/21) of SMSQEQXL.EXE works fine with keyboard on my QXL 1.

Re: QXL SMSQ/E Version
I last updated/used SMSQ/E on my QXLII about a year (maybe 2) or so ago and had no issues with the keyboard. Can't remember what version it was.

Ask me about felt pads - I can cut them to size and they have proved excellent for mdv data recovery.

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.

SMSQ 2.57, 2.76, 2.90 all work
SMSQ/E 3.00 crashes after 2 keypresses
SMSQ/E 3.05 works OK
SMSQ/E 3.06 does start up.
SMSQ/E 3.30 - 3.38 all startup but no keyboard input.
I have a 68RC040 CPU in the QXL from a Qbranch Q40, I guess that the CPU is defective, typical Qbranch quality, I wil maybe dump the QXL with SMSQ on eBay...
Looking at the SMSQ/E change log, I can not see what changes were made to SMSQ/E v3.05 to v3.06?
Regards,
Derek

Re: QXL SMSQ/E Version
Just to be clear, "does start up" means that 3.06 also doesn't have working keyboard? There were no relevant changes in 3.06, though I do not have a history of the accompanying PC files. 3.13 on the other hand had some changes to the QXL keyboard code apparently, so the exact version this was introduced matters.Derek_Stewart wrote:Hi Marcel,mk79 wrote:So 3.06 doesn't?Derek_Stewart wrote:Strange that v3.05 works perfectly.

I think the CPU is not working correctly.

Re: QXL SMSQ/E Version
That it works with earlier SMSQ/E surely must mean CPU is OK. Perhaps the fact you have full 68040 installed (not expected EC version) may possibly be the root cause ?

Re: QXL SMSQ/E Version
Does NOT start up? OK, the "not" was missing then. There were very small changes in the QXL code that look innocent but then I haven't tested it myself.Derek_Stewart wrote:Does not start up means no display change after entering the command line.mk79 wrote:Just to be clear, "does start up" means that 3.06 also doesn't have working keyboard?

Possible but somewhat unlikely.I think the CPU is not working correctly.
