When do I respr the driver, after the > computer has finished booting ? You respr it from a file on *any* bootable media (other than hard disk of course (8-)#) ). The Qubide ROM is removed. It comes with qubide. I have one on my BBS but I bet it is on a website somewhere. Dilwyn's site is the first port of call. It can be *anywhere* in the boot file, but on my BBS it is a rom file on Romdisq - ie loads before F1/F2. This means one can boot normally off hard disk. I in fact boot off Romdisq, which means one has a working QL even if the HD (or qubide) dies. > > I will perform this test with the respr driver and if it still does > not work I will send it to you for repair.

[Ql-Users] Branching on the Q40/60
Here is an interesting piece of program you might like to try out on a Q40 or Q60 or even a QXL. PEA LABEL MOVE.L (A7)+,D0 SWAP D0 BRA LABEL-1 If LABEL is even the program branches to it, but if LABEL is odd the program branches to LABEL-1. This will not work on a Super Gold Card or Gold Card.

I had this exact problem George when I first got my second hand Aurora.. the fullstops stopped and i was left with a frozen Aurora. I think my problem was solved by first removing my RomDisq which allowed a full reboot as the boot up sequence existed on my WIN1_ as well as the RomDisq, after that I think i had to re-initialise my RomDisq, I think either Tony instructed me at this point or it may have been in the Manual.

Pressing F1/F2 does nothing. How odd. The same trouble happens with my set up but the QUBIDE banner stops after about three full stops. Would my problem be due to the same cause?

Re: [Ql-Users] QUBIDE problem
Hi Tony , How does I test the board with the RESPR version of the driver ? Where can I find that driver ? When do I respr the driver, after the computer has finished booting ? I will perform this test with the respr driver and if it still does not work I will send it to you for repair. PM me for quote.

As you get the banner, it seems likely the Eprom is OK. Next to be suspicious of are the GALs. You really need a working qubide to test chips on!
