Hi Norman, OK, so get 0.9.52 Version 0.9.52 obtained and installed. QPC runs, slowly, and still gives repeating characters - but not all the time. It is now workable - sort of. I notice that if I pause at the keyboard then start typing, I get the repeats. Pressing ENTER a few times then

Morning Marcel, It used to be TASM (Turbo Assembler), but when Borland discontinued it and certain bugs made development difficult I switched to MASM (Microsoft Assembler). TASM was the far superior choice when I started out but fortunately MASM has caught up a bit in the meantime and now is

Hi Wolfgang, Perhaps using a PC formatted floppy is a way around this, for now? Just tried that as well, nothing works. dir flp1_ gives me a stat of the win drive and dir dos1_ (a:\ is configured as dos1_ on startup) gives me 0/0 sectors. :-( Cheers, Norman.
