I'm gutted to hear of George's passing away. I had a lot of dealings with
George when I was writing Assembler articles for QL Today, there wasn't ever an
article that George didn't have a comment on, but mostly he had ideas to
improve things. For which I was grateful.
My deepest sympathies to h
Hi Richard,
My condolences on the passing of your father.
I used all the software he wrote and he used some computer hardware I built.
I always enjoyed talking to George at QL shows and found all his presentations,
really interesting.
I am really saddened by his passing.
Regards,
Derek

A hardware problem seems more likely to me, because logic version 1.05
works with the latest Minerva elsewhere.

I have upgraded the Q68 FPGA firmware to v1.05 last week and everything
is working fine, no lock-ups. However, using 40MHz SDHC clock gets
corrupted file reads, at least when using the original Q68 SDHC card. So
This is great news!
It took me some time to do a first test run with QPC2 and QL/E v3.23 this
evening. So far all is well.

Oh well, if Peter Graf can upgrade my Q68 to v1.05 in May I might be
able to do more research...
Please remind me prior to the QL meeting so I bring the equipment and

In any case, the fast SD card speed option of SMSQ/E is not an

The Config Block values are:
WIN1: QXL.WIN
WIN2: SMS33Q.WIN
So the Q68 may not find the WIN1 QWA container file.
Fair enough - if you look at the source code, you will note that most of
the changes were made there already. I now traced this problem to the

Hi
Great updates.
One comment with regards to the Q68 update, the WIN1, WIN2 definition in the
SMSQ/E config blocks, is defined as:
Unfortunately, the file names in the SMSQ/E config blocks are not correct, as
detailed in the Q68 Manuals.
The Config Block values are:
WIN1: QXL.WIN
WIN2: SMS
Totally agree!

So, SMSQmulator now has (some level of) SERial port support - that's great!
