Thank you @Maskenlos I've dropped you a PM about getting a QIMSI...

Well, I can't wait more time. PM sent for one unit if still available.

Thanks!

I would like one ( or two ) also. PM sent.

Hi Stephan - just wondering what the status of the "production line" is? I've not heard anything so I assume you are still supplying the initial batch?

Dear Sparrowhawk,

I sent you an Email on 26th of Oct with payment information together with some other QIMSI interested guys.
Neither reply nor payment from your side. All the others from "your group" received their QIMSI already some time ago.

Before you do a payment right now, kindly contact me offline.

Best regards,

Stephan

Dear all,

sorry to say, the stock of QIMSIs is almost depleted. I have to do some shipments, the people are informed. The demand was unexpected high, we plan to start a new production batch soon. I keep everybody informed who is in the list.
Approximately 15% of the people in the list did not replay to my Email containing shipment and payment information. All these Emails have been send before 13th of Nov. If it happen that you find such an Email in your inbox or spam folder right now, please do not make any payment but contact me upfront by Email.

Best regards,

Stephan

Hi Stephan,

I just checked my email and there is nothing there for 26th October, and I also checked my spam folder - nothing in that either).

Do you recall the email title? I searched for QIMSI but nothing came up either.

Apologies if you thought I was being rude by not replying, but I really did not see the email. Believe me if I'd have got it, I'd have replied immediately as I'd love a larger storage ability for my QL.

Hi @Maskenlos
I have received the QIMSI - thank you. I didn't had time to test it yet, but I looked at what's on the SD card and I have a question.
As far as I know the latest SMSQE version is 3.38, as stated on the official SQMSQE site
The version on the QIMSI SD card seems to be 3.39.
What are the changes between v3.39 and 3.38?
Is this v3.39 the version for Goldcard? Or something else? (I see that in it that Goldcard is mentioned, but it can also work with some non-standard resolutions and the initial color depth looks like 256)

The QIMSI keyboard driver was added. Official release yet to come.

Yes. And SuperGoldCard of course. I can not reproduce your color issue, but as always, please configure SMSQ/E before use.

I do not think you can get any extra resolution and colour depth, without an Aurora attached.
