There have been versions of SMSQ/E where the internal test to see if it is already loaded were left out (probably because SMSQ/E is modular and the module was left out deliberately during testing and then not put back in). This, of course, only applies to the Gold Card versions. In the current version it is fine again but it is always worth leaving it in just in case.

Refitted RomDisq, wiggled and made sure all connectors were firmly in place, rebooted no problems without freezing up the Aurora, edited rom1_boot to Hotkey QCDEZE_obj and the icing o the cake... the mouse is fully working.

You can see from the first line of your HD boot, which you quoted here. You load it on first boot. You need a line check that SMSQ is loaded. You would probably edit the first line of your win boot program to something like: IF VER$==JSL:code to run SMSQ from win1_boot After booting up under Minerva, PRINT VER$ to check.

VER$ is ROM version - as per QL User Guide (on Dilwyn's site if you haven't got the paper version) My version was: IF VER$==JSL:load SMSQ ie if the version run if Minerva. L is Laurence Reeves and JS I suppose because that was the latest UK version. Pers was: IF VER$HBA:load SMSQ ... so you know then what HBA is (8-)# Pers is better, as it is independent of the native ROM version. I wonder what HBA stood for? Tony Tebby wrote SMSQ. I think his wife is Beverly, so maybe it is her initials.

Re: [ql-users] Aurora - Good news
Which is better Minerva or SMSQ/E... I would say SMSQ/E is more up to date.
