The QXL software (SMSQ/E) is available from Dilwyns website too, directly underneath the manual download...on the link I posted earlier. It's 153k in size. After that, there's tons of freeware available on Dilwyns site too. You likely got confused with the Q40 and Q60. You definitely have a QXL.

I have the original software called SMSQ somewhere at home - I'll search for it when I get home. There is a more modern version of the operating system software called SMSQ/E, the 'e' standing for 'enhanced'. Main difference being that it has the 'pointer environment' windowing system included. A

Hmm not sure where I got QX40 on - thats the label I stuck on the card. On the reverse of the card it says 'Miracle Systems Ltd QXL 2B' I found a few hits for that, but still no software. It looks like the 'sockets' are for the QL network. ___

Hello all, After a few decades ? - I decided to see if I can get my QL running again. Unfortunately it has multiple issues, which I'll get to at some point. I remembered though I had an ISA card called I believe a QX40? I do remember vaguely using this, probably in the 90s at some point. I've
