Tony, As you may know (you don't? uh-oh :-) you've been listed for the NA show as "fixing things". I'd like to mention beforehand something I'd like done: getting my floppy drives working. Years ago the previous ones, old, had trouble & I replaced them with new generics. They had some sort of trouble, and at a NA show (Maryland US?) Roy or somebody flipped four wires in the cable. They worked a little better, but e.g. they still won't format, and putting a new file on a diskette is done only by deleting an existing file from a used diskette and inserting--not say by format & just write. Puts a crimp in your day.
Installing the sH I bought from you looks involved, and I expect you the expert could do in five (ten?) minutes with myself needing an afternoon for reading & dickering... If as a matter of principle, and you needing to ration your time at the show maybe, I should do it myself, I can. Thanks, Doug L. 37830 USA If you can evaluate the Minverva I also bought recently, that could be handy; as I say I dropped it and don't know yet, through installation or just check-out, whether I've damaged it. Even I the non-specialist can install one of those though. I will have the black box which is in the process of being converted to "main QL" (newer Minerva, sH, remove old 68008; SGC, repaired floppies; SMSQ maybe in forseeable future--yes, I still run without). Maybe even the old black box (older Minverva, maybe shot). _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
