Yep, I am using last version of 3.36b.
I revert back to initial original eprom, waiting the brand new Eprom (10
items exactly the same) i ordered from China
Unfortunately I bought 4 eprom second hand from eBay, they are branded
ST M27C1024 12F even if they look different from external: 2 have round
window and 2 have rectangular window. Moreover the programmer (Signstek
TL866II Plus)fails if I check the "Check ID" button, well it fails for 3
of them and for the remaining one it pass, not a good sign.
As I said in the previous post using SMSQ/E 3.36b in eprom and booting
the QXL.WIN from the Syba SD-ADA45006 CF reader _works most of the
time,_ but sometime Q60 stops at initial screen (white/red) not moving
forward and I need to switch off/on again.
When Q60 start, I also tried to lrespr again 3.36b but apparently
nothing change.
In summary booting from old eprom (differently from Thierry) I have a
very stable situation even if i exchange the different CF/SD readers I
have at home (4), all of them works.
Booting from new 3.36 eprom I have experienced sometime (very few) hangs
at initial screen with Syba reader, and replacing it with the other
CF/SD readers even worst getting a blank screen and nothing else.
I could be wrong, and for sure I am, but I noted that smsq/e 3.36b in
eprom boots in an instant and I suspect that smsq/e 3.36 start so fast
that sometime for unknown reasons hangs before the boot, this explain
the few hangs I have.
Thats all for the moment, waiting the new eprom for restart the tests.

Hi,
Yes, thanks, that will be in the next version of SMSQE.
I sent Fabrizio a preview version with that fix already included, I
presume that is what Fabrizio is using....
I'm not sure whether that is his problem, though.

Just a question - what happens if you re-load (per LRESPR ,not
automatically at boot time)
Yes, I was about to ask the same question, but you bet me to it.
It is probably the same issue as the one I encountered with my HD that
is too slow to show up on the IDE bus when SMSQ/E v3 is cold-booted
from the ROM.
LRESPRing again SMSQ/E v3.36 would definitely expose this, if the card
is seen after such a warm reboot.
I'm posting again here (but in-lined, this time, since the list does
not propagate attachments) the (quick and dirty) patch I made for my
HD and SMSQ/E in EPROM, and which introduces a 5s delay before querying
the IDE drives on boot:
