The SuperBASIC SBASCIC Reference Manual says there is TurboFix_bin to make the BASIC_INDEX% function compatible with SBASIC and MultiBASIC. Dilwyn's Download Page for Turbo states that TurboFix is no more needed for current versions of Turbo Toolkit. I have tried Turbo Toolkit v3.44 and the patched ...

I like 1024x768x4. If I compare it to Windows, it looks much nicer AND it's Dark Mode ;-) @Jan: Because your problems with your eyes. Do your use a native 1024x768 Display? Here even on a 1280x1024 Display Q68 looks good with 1024x768 and 512x256 (Minerva). Of course I'm seeking for a native 1024x76...

But my hardware skills are now very limited and (more important) I don't currently have the time. I not even have the time to explore my two Q68. I've just bo...
