Wolfgang snip My sbasic keywords list shows to presence of RESET in: dp_tk3 (Digital Precision Toolkit) hi_tool2_bin sms-q (of course) tools_rext Dbas_bin (older version) Hope this helps And of course, I too use 'reset'.

However if I run my boot program and then reset it crashes. So there must be something wrong with reset. Good observation, but jumping too fast to the conclusion. Problems in SMSQ/E are almost never this straight forward. For example an extension in your boot could have redefined RESET. Or overwritten the RESET code. Or 1000 more reasons. You cannot blaim RESET for that. As I happen to know that the RESET procedure is clean, I find this theory much more believable. I have found that I was using a RESET from TK3 on my Q40 and Q60. Hence my previous remarks were NOT relevant to SMSQE. However the bad news is that though I have now renamed the TK3 RESET to RASET which allows the SMSQE RESET to reappear it (the SMSQE RESET) still crashes the machine. This is true of v3.04 and 3.07. Pressing ALT/CONTROL/SHIFT/TAB is equally bad. I have checked the code for SMSQE's RESET and, as far as I can see, it has not been overwritten.

Re: [ql-users] RESET in SMSQE
A small question/suggestion especialy for george gwilt, try not loading the floating point utilitiies which take advantage of the 68060 hardware floating point as they change the vector base register which in my opinion mucks ups the behaviour of the SMSQE soft reset which somewhere in the code assumes a zero vector base register. This comment also applies to the movep emulation code for the 68060 by mark swift plus any thing else which changes the vecto base register. A solution more than likely lies in the reset code on SMSQE which seems implicitly to assume a vector base register of zero. I might be wrong but an exlicit zero of the vector base register during soft reset under SMSQE might be a solution for the problem but a more fundemental look at the code might reveal where SMSQE is going wrong and and maybe lead to a solution. - David Gilham - The universe is a queer place ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

The VBR doesn't seem to be set anywhere in the initialisation code, although it should. Marcel ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
Re: [ql-users] RESET in SMSQE
David you are right, I had the same problem as George with Reset, the problem is due to movep emulation rext file, for the reason you told before.
