Hi, Yes, thanks, that will be in the next version of SMSQE. I sent Fabrizio a preview version with that fix already included, I presume that is what Fabrizio is using I'm not sure whether that is his problem, though. Woflgang > >> Just a question - what happens if you re-load (per LRESPR

A simple bootstrap loader would do the trick, right? Why a complete SMSQ/E in EPROM? As far as I remind, TT has written such one, having it it one of my TT disks (for Atari). Am 12.05.2020 um 18:28 schrieb Peter Graf via Ql-Users: Ralf Reköndt via Ql-Users wrote: Hmm, so why use it in an

Well, you can bring up the OS from ROM without working mass storage. That's definitely an advantage, especially for the early days, when we didn't have fast storage (i.e. floppy only). Compared to the Atari, that's ROM-TOS vs. Disk-TOS (but not running from ROM) Tobias > Am 12.05.2020 um

> If it is the drives, well, that's the problem Thierry has mentioned. By the way I doubt the ISA bus reset is required, which is adding to the delay. Neither QDOS Classic nor my own Utility ROMs use it. Never seen any issue. ___ QL-Users Mailing List
