Re: [Ql-Users] SMSQmulator 2.28
Hi, With help from Wolfgang and some googling on my own there are now two different solutions to this problem. Wolfgang supplied me with a new smsqmulator which was able to keep up, and I found the programming manual to the scanner family on the net which enabled me to reduce its typing speed.

It's read like an ordinary keyboard, input"Scan item ",a$ This works fine in uqlx and qpc under wine. I assume that it types too fast for SMSQmulator to keep up. Kjartan uQlx makes no attempt to emulate a keyboard. It just directly fills the QDOS input buffers. Graeme And that's fine - SMSQmulator on the other hand doesn't keep up.. I'm curious, how does uqlx handle multiple keystrokes such as CTRL+ALT+Shift + left?

I followed the discussion on the QL forum about fitting network sockets to the Q68 case. This doesn't look very straightforward. I think removing the on/off switch and mounting the network socket there will be the best solution with minimal impact (I only need one network socket). Or is there a simple way to convert the sound output socket to a network socket with minimal damage? For users without a Q68, QBOX's FidoNet technology network utilities might be a better way to exchange files without having to log in to a BBS and manually downloading each file. I'll upload them asap. This way you could transfer files by putting them on hold as attachments and use POLL/MAIL to get them off the BBS. Oh well, I first thought the FidoNet utils would be useless these days but now there still seems to be a use case for them :-).

If you have no problem with network plugs on the front side, then I'd recommend drilling a hole to the front panel. > Or is there a simple way to convert the sound output socket to a network > socket with minimal damage? It is even possible without *any* damage, but you would lose sound. Some tinkering would be involved, drilling a hole is definitely easier. Peter ___ QL-Users Mailing List
