A few months ago I bought a QL-SD for my original black box. Then I tried to adapt the driver to QPC. I wanted to add hot-swapping but found it extremely difficult to implement due to the way the driver is organized. It doesn't follow any of the QDOS conventions but always does its own thing. I found it very difficult to understand. Then I experienced some data loss and somewhat lost interest. Interesting to hear that there are known problems with it. > 3) Wait until someone else has solved the QL-SD driver issues. That's what I'm hoping for now, too :-P > All we do is without guarantee or timeframe. I have lost track of SMSQ/E > completely, so I'm not sure how much help I can be. And like must of us, > I suffer from lack of time. I, too, have offered in the past to port SMSQ/E to new platforms, but in this case the hardware unfortunately didn't materialize. I could still be bothered if it's just a port. I was actually once offered a quite huge sum of money for porting SMS2 to a new hardware but ultimately declined because I got the feeling that "porting" there meant "also make drivers for all of the newfangled stuff on board", which for example would have meant creating a complete USB stack for it. In 68k assembler. Thanks, but no thanks. Cheers, Marcel _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List
