I shant sport with your collective patiences by replying to it all in detail ;) I should be happy to be kept posted on developments, and can only hope that those non-technical details may be resolved quickly! Wouldnt it be an idea to fish in the Atari community, to see if there was an interest and anyone willing to do a port? If it works it should further reduce costs, and may produce other benefits.. Strange to think the Q60 is the end of the line. Per

It wasnt, but thank you all the same. However, it is now fixed. Yet Im not the wiser as to when or how that happened. Im not the sort of user who is accustomed to request help with reading the manual, so although Im pretty convinced it wasnt me, Im now also pretty convinced that the reported problem had nothing to do with QPC/SMSQ.

I have only built few prototypes for developers and the costs for single machines are higher than a batch of boards. But you can expect the Q60 to be faster and cheaper than the Atari clones with 68060. compatibility: Only known incompatibility is with a few CDROM drives. Everything else like Q40 so far. SMSQ/E patch required. reliability: What are you asking for? A 10 year test? :-) Only thing I can tell is that the Q40 hardware runs for 3.5 years without any hardware failures. The Q60 is build on the same PCB with some modifications. how difficult is it to assemble: As simple as a PC mainboard. A few screws and the connectors. Fits directly into Minitower/Desktop case (AT formfactor preferred). networking (can you network two+ of them under Linux, for example?) Yes you can. Full TCP/IP and Ethernet support under Linux. Modern 10 Mbit ethernet ISA card with jumpers required. Upgradability (CPU, RAM): Upgrade CPU to what? The Q60 uses the fastest possible 68K processors. The 80 MHz Q60 is the fastest 68K computer on the whole world I heard of. If you know something faster, please let me know :-) RAM: 60ns PS/2 EDO modules 16 MB upgradeable to 32 MB on existing second socket. Option for 64 / 80 / 128 MB will probably be offered, but only Linux support available by now. SMSQ /QDOS work, but only use up to 32 MB. expansion: No PCI/AGP/USB, since 32 bit graphics onboard and no SMSQ / QDOS support anyway. Q60 extension bus has two slots for ISA cards, one use by IO card. More slots electrically possible if you find a case with slot riser/extender. warranty/support: Well the QL community is known to help each other, isn't it. What more do you expect? A 24 hour phone hotline? Peter

RE: [ql-users] MinisQL
Years ago I wrote some toolkit routines when Dilwyn was still trading as DJC. I just mentioned them in passing in reply to Dilwyn's message about editing the directory entries on a floppy he is having problems with. Norman.

Have not sorted that out yet. Will be fixed in QPCv2.02. The problem is the difference between QPC and all other platforms. If you close a PAR port on a QL, the PAR port is still there (it's a piece of hardware after all ;-) and remaining bytes can be printed without difficulties. But if QPC closes the (physical Windows-) port at the same time it's just gone and can't be accessed anymore. Now the close routine is delayed until all bytes are printed. > I still cannot use CTRL/SHIFT/SCROLLock to close QPCIIv2f (creates havoc) > so I do ALT/TAB and close it with right mouse key in the task bar. Your mail regarding this problem still lies in my inbox... together with about one hundred others. Everything that lies in my inbox will be processed sooner or later, so I'll come back to it when I find the time. But you're still the only one with that problem, therefore it does not really have top priority ;-) Marcel
