I'm gutted to hear of George's passing away. I had a lot of dealings with
George when I was writing Assembler articles for QL Today, there wasn't ever an
article that George didn't have a comment on, but mostly he had ideas to
improve things. For which I was grateful.
My deepest sympathies to
Hi Richard,
My condolences on the passing of your father.
I used all the software he wrote and he used some computer hardware I built.
I always enjoyed talking to George at QL shows and found all his presentations,
really interesting.
I am really saddened by his passing.
Regards,
Derek

The simple reason is that most (not all) splitter cables lead the mouse

A hardware problem seems more likely to me, because logic version 1.05
works with the latest Minerva elsewhere.

I have upgraded the Q68 FPGA firmware to v1.05 last week and everything
is working fine, no lock-ups. However, using 40MHz SDHC clock gets
corrupted file reads, at least when using the original Q68 SDHC card. So
This is great news!
It took me some time to do a first test run with QPC2 and QL/E v3.23 this

Oh well, if Peter Graf can upgrade my Q68 to v1.05 in May I might be
able to do more research...
Please remind me prior to the QL meeting so I bring the equipment and
FPGA data.
I might be able to get a second hand FPGA programmer for cheap, I'll let
you know when I get it.

Maybe statements like that have been misread. The FPGA knows nothing

Hi,

In any case, the fast SD card speed option of SMSQ/E is not an

Afraid not. Already had something else planned for both the original

BTW, my Q68 is the v1.05 ROM loader. Given some reports of

OK, that's certainly strange.
Does anybody else here have this problem?

Hi Derek,

The Config Block values are:
WIN1: QXL.WIN
WIN2: SMS33Q.WIN
So the Q68 may not find the WIN1 QWA container file.
Fair enough - if you look at the source code, you will note that most of
the changes were made there already. I now traced this problem to the

Hi
Great updates.
One comment with regards to the Q68 update, the WIN1, WIN2 definition in the
SMSQ/E config blocks, is defined as:
Unfortunately, the file names in the SMSQ/E config blocks are not correct, as
detailed in the Q68 Manuals.
The Config Block values are:

Hey Wolfgang!
So, SMSQmulator now has (some level of) SERial port support - that's great!
I can now test the QLUB Adapter with it :-)
Anything I should know about this experimental feature?
