I imagine this is due to hardware since, for the Q60 at any rate, the master
chip has an entry for display which can only take 4 different values. I
suppose it is the same for the Q40.
The master chip can indeed do it but for some reason that is not possible under SMSQ/e :-)
I have come to that conclusion. I was sure that, when I started using it there were more but it seems I was wrong. I do have a tendency to use a 1024 resolution because that allows the use of two QDs side by side. It was only when I started to write the article on resolutions that I realised there were no intermediate screen sizes between 512 x 256 and 1024 x 512.
I've had the Q40 for almost two years now and actually it is the first time I found out myself... While getting bits and pieces from the various SMSQ/e manuals I found a 1 line reference by TT.
since D&D started with it) but I have no knowledge of the hard drive emulations on QLAY, UQLX etc.
QLAY only permits windows > QL file mapping with separate headers (like QemuLator but not automatically)
uQLx, permits mapping of directories in the native filesystem to a WINx, mapping of QXL.win files to a win device as well as (if run under UN*X) mapping of raw devices (ie a Q40 partition such as /dev/hda1 if that's your SMSQ/e partition) to a Win device (so you can access both physical and logical drives)
QemuLator permits mapping to both directories and QXL.WIN files (the latter only on the "Expanded QL" registration
Finally QDOS Classic when run on an Amiga -or UAE so long as the Kickstart rom is NOT the QDOS Classic rom but a real Amiga ROM ie like running on a real Amiga- permits the attachment of REAL QubIDE drives. On the PC that has the sideeffect that you can run UAE with QDOS Classic and PHYSICALLY attach your QL hard drive on it.
All of the above permit no "format" of the hard drive (except QDOS Classic that has the complete QubIDE rom on it) For formatting one should use wxqt2 + qxltools.
If anyone would like to contribute a
section on hard drives for these to be included in the article send them to me. They will, of course, be credited for their contributions.
See above.
