Today I received... this industrial ISA 486 Single Board Computer. I took a chance as the previous owner couldn't get it to display anything but fortunately was able to get it working very easily (by changing the RTC module and fiddling with the RAM socket connectors). I had it running a 486 DX4 10...

Did you try loading quill with the "P" attribute from Hotkey? That should actually work properly: 220 ERT HOT_CHP ('q', 'flp1_quill', 'p', 32) 230 HOT_GO 330 ERT HOT_PICK ('1', 'Quill') This should load quill resident and pressing <ALT>1 should then pull quill into the foreground without a...
