Adrian,
there is (I think) not a single function that allows to retrieve this
information, but some strong hints
That's also a good way of doing it.
Thanks, George.

Marcel,

Not quite.
UQLX does offer higher resolutions without PE (sure you can run PE
on top of it.)

The citation you made refers to the run-time patch mechanism of uqlx - If you

Marcel, George,
my QXL originally came with SMS (neither 2 nor Q attached to it).
This definitely had no PE. (Today it's on newest SMSQ/E, naturally)

That's what I did in the 90ies (I mean ignore). You couldn't do much else with
it.

Marcel,
sorry to contradict again ;-) :
uqlx can run a JS ROM in 800x600 without PE quite well.
This is right out of the uQLx source code:
if (isMinerva) {

else /* JS doesn't handle big screen */
{
bsfb:
qlscreen.linel=128;
Marcel,
you're right, tricked myself:
when started with the big screen enabled, it seems that uqlx loads the Minerva
ROM, regardless of what ROM you might have configured in the config file.
