Hi Tony,
 When I remove Qubide everything works fine using the floppy  disk to boot up.
when reconnect Qubide it starts normal routine but when it restart with Smsq, 
it stops at the first dot of the initialization dot. I have another hard disk 
and it is the same with that.

 I have attempted to unplug a couple of items and clean and reinsert them on 
 the SGC. I switched the machine on and I got the tweed display and a message 
 that the real time was at fault, the hard drive and cdrom followed by the 
 dots and then the screen goes blank.
 I have tried it several times.
  
 This sounds better.  I guess this is with Aurora,
 
 Try first with a std QL and nothing connected to SGC.
 If that works, try with Aurora with the hard disk disconnected.
 It could be that your boot program is crashing the QL.
 
 
If that fails, try removing qubide completely.

Did you try qubide with no hard disk connected, as I suggested?
If OK try without a 'boot' file.  If you still get a locked up QL then 
(of course) it is qubide that is faulty.


Anyone any suggestions on how he can investigate qubide?
All I can suggest is he cleans legs of socketed chips.
It could be a dodgy gal, I suppose.

Tony


No suggestions - I have a set of v2 ROM chips which Arnold could try
