QPC1 versus QPC2 ? Well not really. I have just become aware, again, of how useful and 'speedy' QPC1 is. Having got back an old PC 486/33 with Win 3.11 installed. I decided to put it to good use by making it a QPC1 platform :-) which I can now use long term at the London QL User and Quanta group meetings. Installing QPC1 was no problem, just copy the files to a QPC directory and then format a 'win1'. Even the changes to the autoexec.bat and config.sys files didn't phase me, as I had done it once before; and now it is well documented with QPC. I then decided to install some QL software. Taking it across by floppy disc from a Pentium 1 PC with WIN 95 and QPC II v2, to the 486 PC with Win 3.11. Yet I had forgotten how slow the slave blocks are with WIN 95, it makes the Win 3.11 machine seem positively speedy ! Still, mission achieved a few hours later ... Does anyone have any of the following equipment that they could donate to the London Group ? VGA monitor, with standard D plug, and power cable ( kettle plug style ) PS2 style mouse PS2 keyboard This would complete a useable system. -- Malcolm Cadman
