[ql-users] QIMI Mouse Interface
Does anyone have the drivers and disk for this mouse interface - I have a manual and two interfaces if anyone is looking for one. Rich Mellor RWAP Software 7 Common Road, Kinsley, Pontefract, West Yorkshire, WF9 5JR TEL: 01977 614299 http://hometown.aol.co.uk/rwapsoftware

Ah, just found it in the manual - RTFM as they say in PC business.

Re: [ql-users] Qlay question - floppies
I haven't transferred anything for a while, but my recollection is that the files which QXLTOOLS is looking at are coming off of a regular/MS DOS formatted medium ... so, you'll want to use XOVER or DiscOVER, first.

The method Al mentioned has certainly worked for me in the past but for some reason I have yet to fully understand I had what could best be called mixed success this time. I first transferred the three Quill doc files to ram to get them off the scarily old discs and then copied them onto a freshly formatted DD disc. I actually taped up the hole on an HD disc as it was quite new. The PC is a competent 333MHz Celeron thing and QLAY has been on it for nearly three years - currently v0.90c. QLTOOLS would not give me a recognisable directory listing of the disc. Instead it produced several lines of text from one or more of the Quill docs for filenames and outrageously large numbers for length. As for the dates and version numbers. This had been pretty much the pattern of behaviour with a fair proportion of the QL discs I tried - some were mine and some Helen's. Only some of them gave a recognisably valid directory listing. Helen had been using a Trump card with twin Miracle DD drives. I have been using SGC with twin ED drives. I wonder if the slight difference in the DD definition sector which is written by a Trump Card system and a Gold Card system could be part of the explanation. Does anyone know if QLTOOLS can handle all of original QL5A, Gold Card QL5A and all QL5B discs? I intend to get to the bottom of this in time but at the moment I am trying to get a Linux 2.5.10 kernel (with the pre-emption patch) working on my Mandrake system - the kernel seems fine but Alsa sound isn't playing ( pun not intended).

Hi - I'm a bit in a hurry today, so no reply at leangth - on Thursday... Just a question: do you want to mimick the behviour of button- sleep, or do you just want to put your job to sleep in the normal way (close wdws, open one for the button, after button click, redraw wdws?). PS: if you're doint this from basic, why not use exep 'button_sleep' - puts your job to sleep. Wolfgang PS: sorry, I can't help with the translations, always used the english versions...

Can someone please confirm what mice will work with this interface?? Will any 3 button PC serial mouse work?? Or do we need an Atari mouse?? Someone must know - the manual does not say!

Serial mice of any kond will NOT work. You need an Atari, Amiga (needs two lines swapped otherwise cursor goes the wrong way) or Microsoft Bus Mouse (Connector must be changed from DIN to D9, see Aurora manual - Aurora implemets a QIMI compatible mouse interface). MB Mouse may make the cursor react very quickly (it generates more movement pulses per length travelled than the other two) but this is adjustable via Qpac/Qram settings window. Someone must know - the manual does not say! The manual does not way because the mouse came with the interface and it was assumed you a) had one and b) it was the right one :-) Nasta

From memory you aren't doing it wrong. QXLTOOLS gets your QDOS files onto the PC, QLAYT then generates the directory files needed by QLAY. I also had your problem and for a long time I thought the floppies were corrupted. Some were OK, some were not; I would get a partial directory listing, then a fragment of test from a file, then rubbish. My floppies were readable, however, so it must be that QXLTOOLS is not robust to something on them that other tools would accept. When you get your Linux working, you can access QDOS floppies on FLP1_ directly via UQLX. It works fine, and you can copy them into the directories you have defined as WIN1_ etc. I haven't tried defining the directory on a DOS partition but can't see why it wouldn't work. You would still need to use QLAYT before using the files with QLAY. BTW I use mandrake 8.1. My computer has sound built into the motherboard and I never did get sound working properly with suse, or earlier versions of Mandrake. Even now its a bit hit and miss. Sometimes the sound system does not start up automatically on boot.
