I am indeed installing Shoestring. I have searched for older versions to try but they seem to have disappeared from everywhere... I am not sure if Richard is reading this list any more (or ql- developers) but he would be the one to consult. As I said in my original mailing, using the ramimg and then running apps directly from the cdrom works just fine. Maybe again it's my Q40 as it's an initial production run and some things as I have noticed don't go as expected (ie ProWesS that despite all info from other Q40i and Q60 users I yet have to install and run). I used Prowes on it Phoebus, Paragraph worked and Linedesign ( LD in mode 4 to see the menus ) Other things work like a dream. (Turbo, GWASS, c68 and Q-Word do and that's what I am really interested in anyway! Weird thing here is that PQIV DOESN'T run unless used on QDOS Classic ) I am not 100% sure but I think Pqiv worked also, are there not two versions of Qpiv ?? Ah I just remembered you had to put a pause in your boot file and disable CACHE before loading ProWes, don't know if this was fixed in later SMSQE or not Speaking of disks any way to use QubIDE partitions (which are infinitely more reliable than QWA ones) and SMSQ/E ones on the same disk? I've tried to contact Phil Borman, but he doesn't reply from the address he lists on his webpage... My experience with Aurora/ QubIDE was the oposite All the best - Bill
